Firefighters responded to a reported fire at the Susan’s Place Apartments Tuesday, February 17.

Essex Fire Department says they were dispatched to Susie Wilson Road at about 3:41 p.m. That call was upgraded to a dual response also from Essex Junction Fire Department.

Upon arrival, crews discovered the fire at an apartment on the second floor. More specifically, the fire was on the stove.

Fire crews say that the sprinkler system had kept the fire from spreading quickly. The fire was contained to the single apartment. Authorities later confirmed that the fire was cause by “unattended non-food items left rendering on the stovetop.”
