At 6:30 p.m., the Denton Fire Department responded to an apartment fire. Upon arrival, fire crews discovered light smoke coming from the doorway, and the fire had already been suppressed by a fire sprinkler in the apartment’s kitchen. The resident of the apartment claimed the fire began as a result of a cooking fire on the stove top, and the occupant tried to retrieve the fire extinguisher when the sprinkler activated and extinguished the flames. No injuries were reported.
