A fire that broke out in a bathroom fan Tuesday morning forced a temporary evacuation on Building J of Lion’s Crossing apartments at 201 Vairo Blvd.
A sprinkler system put out the fire in the third-floor apartment just before 8 a.m., limiting damage to the bathroom, said Steve Bair, of Alpha Volunteer Fire Company and the fire director for the Centre Region Council of Governments.
