Apartment Building, Residential Muncie, IN – Sprinkler systems helps extinguish fire in loft apartment building December 12, 2014 viking210 Terry Moore, Muncie Fire Department battalion chief, said a woman was in the process of moving her mother into an apartment on the seventh (and top) floor of the former Roberts Hotel when she placed a bag of clothing on the stove — and apparently accidentally turned on a burner. The resulting fire was for the most part extinguished by a ceiling sprinkler. Fire damage was minimal. “The sprinkler did what it is supposed to do,” the battalion chief said. A few tenants, some in wheelchairs, stayed outside the building for several minutes.
