CHAMPAIGN, IL – A fire sprinkler extinguished a fire in a fourth floor unit of a multifamily apartment building. According to Champaign Deputy Fire Marshal Jeremy Mitchell, when crews responded, they found a sprinkler extinguished the fire that started in a trash bin. The fire may have been caused by inappropriate disposal of candles or smoking material.
Occupants from apartments and a bar located on the ground floor evacuated the building. Shortly after the call, the bar was back in business. Residents returned to their units later that night. No injuries were reported.
