Residents reported that they had a fire on the stove in the kitchen of the apartment.
Heat from the fire activated a sprinkler head located in the kitchen which contained the fire, and gave residents in the building a chance to exit the structure safely.
Several residents were displaced due to the damage, but fortunately no one was injured.
Gainesville Fire Rescue crews used Positive Pressure Ventilation to remove smoke from the apartment and capped the sprinkler to avoid any further water damage.
