June 14, 2018 viking210

A small fire at a nursing home and rehabilitation facility is being investigated as arson.

The Kenosha Fire Department and Kenosha Police were called to Clairidge House, 1519 60th St., at about 6:15 p.m. Monday for a report of smoke in the basement, with the facilities smoke alarms on, Fire Chief Charles Leipzig said.

He said the fire was contained by a sprinkler system, with a sprinkler head activated in the bathroom where the fire began.

Kenosha Police said the fire appeared to be intentionally set in a garbage can in a basement bathroom. Leipzig said that it appears someone may have gotten into the building through an open basement door to set the fire.

No one was injured.
