Crews were dispatched to the 900 block of North Market Street around 3 p.m. for a report of a water flow alarm from the building’s sprinkler system.
When firefighters got to the 7th floor, they noticed water in the hall and determined that the sprinkler system in one of the apartments had activated.
Inside that apartment, they found the sprinklers had put out a fire on the stovetop.
Firefighters turned the sprinklers off, and electricity was turned off in that apartment and several others where water was found.
After Licenses and Inspections and building management determined all the water had been removed, electricity was turned back on.
