At approximately 1:30 p.m. on July 2, fire crews responded to a fire in the third floor of a four-story apartment building. The apartment’s fire sprinkler system helped to put out the fire, and the tenant, who was home when the fire erupted, was able to evacuate safely along with the apartment’s other residents. The cause of the fire appears to be smoking materials.

Fire crews were dispatched to a fire at 1:30 a.m. Monday at the South Bend/St. Joseph Building Department. The building’s fire sprinkler was operating when they arrived, preventing a large amount of damage.

“The sprinkler head was triggered by the fire in that office,” said Captain Christian Rose of the South Bend Fire Department. “And there was a broken window, so we’re unsure how that happened. So we called the fire investigators out to see whether or not arson was involved, or something else.”

The office was open for business on Monday, and there were no injuries reported.
