When crews arrived at a residential building on G Street, they found smoke coming from a unit on the 4th floor but no fire.
The source of the smoke was a few lithium-ion battery charging stations for electric vehicles, the department said.
The building’s fire suppression sprinkler system wasn’t triggered, and no one was injured.
G Street was temporarily shut down between 13th Street and 15th Street, and residents were evacuated while fire crews handled venting the building.
Mark Wahlberg recently entered uncharted territory.
A spokesperson for Flecha Cantina told People that a fire started after “a defective fire pit caught fire on the bottom of it.”
“The fire crew came and put it out right away,” they continued. “No damage at all in the interior restaurant. The only damage was the fire pit and the chair next to it. Thankfully, no one was injured.”
Fans could see the fire raging outside Flecha from footage shared on X by @LasVegasLocally.
The fire occurred the night before Wahlberg’s ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, weeks after the restaurant opened its doors on Sept. 14. However, the spokesperson shared that the event will continue as planned. The Las Vegas restaurant is “a fusion of traditional Mexican flavors with innovative twists,” according to a press release. The second location comes on the heels of Flecha opening in Huntington Beach, Calif., in June.
The Clark County Fire Department received a report of a fire on the restaurant’s patio around 5:30 p.m., according to a press release obtained by the outlet. Sprinklers were activated, and everyone had been evacuated by the time the fire crew arrived.
Luckily, the fire did not spread to the interior of the building, per the fire department, and appeared to be limited to a propane fire table.
Firefighters were able to decrease the flames enough so that the propane tanks that were fueling the table could be turned off.
The Flecha spokesperson confirmed that “the fire sprinkler company came back out and recharged the system and the restaurant was back open at 7 p.m.”
Wahlberg, who moved to Las Vegas with his wife, Rhea Durham, and their four children from California in 2022, had previously opened up about his decision to expand his restaurant empire.
He told Fox News Digital in June that he wanted people to “feel like they’re at home.”
“I want… them [to] have the most amazing experience they’ve ever had in a restaurant. I want them to feel like they’re at home, that they are doted on and spoiled,” Wahlberg added.
The “Arthur the King” star continued, “I’ve sent a lot of people in unannounced to really kind of see what the experience is like. I have an amazing staff, amazing team. And we are a family, we want to share our family experience, and that really translates. So come in, have an amazing experience with the food, the hospitality, drinks, just having fun. It’s an experience that you want to have over and over again.”
The Hudson Police Department confirmed that it responded to a commercial garage on Forest Avenue at around 11:30 a.m. When they arrived there was heavy smoke coming out of the building and fire inside. Fire officials said the sprinkler system helped contain the fire so crews were able to extinguish it.
One person was taken to the hospital. The severity of their injuries was not immediately clear.
The case is under investigation by the Fire District 14 investigation unit, the Massachusetts State Police Fire and Explosion Unit Investigation Team, as well as Hudson Fire and Hudson Police.
More details were not immediately available.
Fire fighters shut down the sprinkler system and conducted a search to confirm there were no occupants in the structure. All HFD personnel were accounted for with no reports of injuries.
An investigation has been initiated to determine the fire’s origin and cause and to provide damage estimates. An update will be sent out once the final investigation report is complete.
Upon arrival, firefighters found that the facility’s sprinkler system had already begun fighting the flames per the City of Mountain View news report.
Mountain View and Palo Alto Fire Department units controlled the fire efficiently.
They confirmed the fire’s extinction using thermal imaging cameras and ensured safety by cutting open the building’s walls and roof.
The fire originated from the rear, it appears, where no ignition sources exist.
An investigation continues into the cause of the fire, which migrated from exterior to interior, causing an estimated $100,000 in damage.
Fire crews in Ann Arbor are crediting a building’s sprinkler system with saving the structure.
According to authorities, the fire happened at about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 7, at a building located on Ellsworth Road, just east of Varsity Drive.
Firefighters responding to the scene forced their way into the building and found water flowing from under a door. Inside that room, they found a fire in a trash can that did not spread because of the activated sprinkler system.
Authorities said the fire was caused by the trash can being too close to the boiler.
The fire was extinguished, the water was shut off and the building was ventilated. No injuries were reported.
All lanes were reponed to traffic about a half-hour after the fire, which was first reported at 3:25 p.m. The closure caused traffic to back up in the area.
There were no reports of injuries and there was no damage done to the structure.
The 1,000-foot covered structure was completed last year and is part of the Central 70 project.
The tunnel is equipped with fans to pump out the exhaust and a sprinkler system to mitigate fires. And CDOT spokesperson Stacia Sellers said the system “worked as intended.”
“At 15:21 flames became visible from the car. 15:22 Fire Detection Activated and Jet Fans kicked in. At 15:23 the deluge system for zone 7 was activated and Denver Fire Department notified. 15:25 deluge was at full open position and suppressed the fire,” Sellers wrote in an email to Denver7.
A car caught on fire in the Transportation Center on Sunday morning, causing damage to others.
“The sprinkler system activated and kept the fire at bay but then the crew that arrived had to finish extinguishing it,” Brattleboro Fire Chief Len Howard said. “So the sprinkler system did its job.”
The fire occurred on the third level of the parking garage on Elliot Street. Emergency personnel received the call at about 6:19 a.m. Sunday.
Howard expects the vehicle that went on fire will be deemed a total loss. Two or three other cars were damaged from the heat, he said.
It’s unclear how the fire started but it’s believed to have originated in the engine compartment. Howard anticipates more details will be released Monday.
The fire isn’t considered suspicious.
Firefighters were sent to the building around 2:25 a.m. An employee was unable to find the source of the fire, but firefighters reportedly found it in a laundry storage area where bags of bio-hazard laundry were stored overhead.
WFFD officials said the fire was ignited by a chemical reaction from rags in the laundry basket that was covered in grease and oil. Officials have declared the fire was unintentional. The sprinkler system reportedly contained the fire, but did not put it out.
Firefighters extinguished the fire after about 45 minutes, according to WFFD officials.
There were no injuries reported on the scene. The Alsco Linens building did not sustain any obvious fire damage, but a large amount of the linens in the basket and bags were damaged.
