Apartment Building, Residential Webb City, MO – Early morning apartment fire contained by sprinkler system June 27, 2015 viking210 A sprinkler system limited the spread of a fire in a Webb City apartment building early Tuesday. Crews with the Webb City Fire Department responded to a fire at the Cardinal Towers, 324 N. Tom St., about 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday. The alarm was traced to a single apartment on the first floor, where firemen searched for occupants. They found the woman had left the apartment when she was awakened by the alarm and was safe in the lobby of the building. Firemen were able to stop the fire quickly, they said, because the sprinkler system had prevented the blaze from spreading beyond the single apartment.
