An apartment building's sprinkler system kept a minor fire on a fifth floor deck from expanding early Friday morning.

Just before 6 a.m. on Oct. 18, the 91大黄鸭 Fire Department (KFD) responded to a call for a structure fire at a six-storey apartment building in the 800 block of Leon Avenue. When the initial crew arrived at the scene, no smoke or flames could be seen from the apartment's exterior.

Upon further review, a small fire was found on a fifth floor deck. The sprinkler system kept the fire from expanding and crews extinguished the rest of the blaze.

The building's fire alarm went off and everyone evacuated safely. After the blaze was doused, everyone was able to go back to their homes. No one was injured and one person was treated for minor smoke inhalation. 

KFD has deemed the fire accidental and it's no longer under investigation. They responded with three engines, one rescue unit, one ladder truck, and one command unit, totalling 18 fire personnel.
