Dayton firefighters were called to an apartment fire at a high-rise early Tuesday morning.
Firefighters were called to 108 Melba Street just before 5 a.m.
The district fire chief, Fred Haney, says when they arrived they heard fire alarms going off.
On the 6th floor, he says it smelled like burnt food.
Inside one of the apartments, they found a fire in the kitchen.
He says crews were able to put the fire out quickly.
The fire he said started from a pot of food burning on the stove.
Haney says the buildings sprinkler system helped a lot putting out the fire.
But there is water damage from the sprinklers.
He says a considerable amount of water flowed before firefighters were able to turn it off.
No one was in the apartment where the fire started.
Because of that an investigator has been called in.
No other apartments were damaged in the fire.
And residents were able to stay in the apartments.
