Apartment Building, Residential Brockton, MA – Apartment kitchen fire is kept from spreading thanks to sprinkler system June 24, 2016 viking210 A kitchen fire displaced 11 residents of a Brockton home Wednesday night. The Brockton Fire Department responded to 18 N. Arlington St. about 8:16 p.m. for a report of a grease fire on the stove in an apartment in the building. The fire extended to the kitchen cabinets and into the wall, Brockton Fire Deputy Chief Mark Baker said. A sprinkler went off in the building, which helped to prevent the fire from spreading further. Ladder 1 responded and put out the flames with a hose. The building sustained about $50,000 worth of heat, smoke and water damage, Baker said. The home’s 11 residents were displaced and were assisted by the Red Cross in being placed in other properties owned by the landlord.
