Firefighters used fans to clear the building of smoke.
AFD was on scene at 2510 South Congress Avenue at around 3:45 a.m.
Officials say the fire was exterior and that the sprinkler system stopped the flames from entering the building.

Firefighters were able to put out the flames in around five to ten minutes, according to a spokesperson with AFD. No injuries were reported.

According to the St. Johns Fire District, they responded to a possible structure fire at 300 Farm Lake View, at the Andell Inn Hotel.

“Without the fire sprinkler system, we would have had a substantial fire event and possible injuries to hotel occupants,” said Fire Chief Colleen Walz. “The fire sprinkler system was part of the critical life safety components of this building. In this case, a single fire sprinkler head operated and controlled the fire event until the fire department could arrive and mitigate any remaining hazards.
