KEENE – A sprinkler system quickly extinguished a kitchen fire this morning in a high-rise apartment building, according a fire official.
The fire department was directly alerted at 7:30 a.m. when the sprinkler system was activated on the top floor of the six-story James C. Cleveland federal building at 21 Roxbury Plaza.
Fire Chief Gary Lamoureux said the fire was out when they arrived three minutes later. The fifth and sixth floors were evacuated and no one was injured.
The fire, he said, was caused by grease in a frying pan on top of a stove.
The building is home to many senior citizens as well as other residents whose rent is subsidized, according to Lamoreux.
