Fire reports are on the rise in the fall

As the weather cools and the use of heaters increases, this leads to a rise in residential fires. It is recommended to keep stoves and electric heaters away from flammable materials and to have chimneys cleaned before the heating season begins. Fire department officials remind residents to use the stairs instead of the elevator in the event of a fire and not to open doors without first checking the temperature of the doorknob.

Neighboring apartments were evacuated

During the response, residents in other apartments in the building were evacuated for safety reasons. After the fire was extinguished, it was determined that there were no structural risks in the building, and residents were allowed to return.
