SPRINGFIELD, IL – A single fire sprinkler controlled a fire at the Sangamon Tower Apartments. Many of the residents have disabilities and are senior citizens. The fire was intentionally started in an apartment unit on the 10th floor. Two people were injured and transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
“The fire itself was out very quickly,” Fire Chief Nick Zummo said. “The sprinkler system did a good job of holding it at bay and we were able to finalize it.”
