The cause of a fire which started on the sixth floor of a senior citizen residence is still under investigation. A sofa caught fire in one of the rooms, and the building’s fire sprinkler quickly suppressed flames. The damage to the building was minimal, and residents were allowed back into their rooms later that day.
