Wilmington firefighters made quick work of a kitchen fire in an apartment Saturday morning.
Crews arrived on-scene at 110 Towne Estates Drive at about 8:15 a.m. after a report of smoke coming from an apartment with alarms sounding.
Firefighters found flames in the kitchen, but the fire was being contained by the building’s sprinkler system.
The crews finished dousing the flames and turned off the sprinklers, and the situation was declared under control in about 10 minutes.
The apartment’s occupants weren’t home when the fire broke out, and no one was hurt.
The city’s Fire Marshal’s office is investigating the cause of the fire, and at this point, there’s no dollar estimate of the damage, which was said to be minimal due to the sprinklers activating.
