The MFD said crews responded to a fire alarm report at Segoe Terrace Apartments, an 8-story building. While MFD units were on the way, several residents from the building called 911 and reported there was smoke visible on the 4th floor.
Upon arrival, the MFD said firefighters immediately checked the 4th floor and reported heat and water coming from inside one of the dwelling units. Engine 9 reported upon entry that not only had the resident evacuated the affected unit, and other residents had evacuated theirs, but the fire in the unit was already extinguished by a sprinkler head.
The MFD said fire damage was contained to only one unit. However, water from the sprinkler system seeped into several units and offices on the first, second, third, and fourth floors. The building’s property management and maintenance team, along with a property restoration company, responded to the scene.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and the MFD said no damage estimate is available at this time. No injuries were reported.
