After an investigation, it was determined that a small fire had occurred in one of the apartments.
The automatic fire sprinkler had put out the fire before crews arrived, the release stated. Water damage occurred in several apartments before the sprinkler system could be shut off.
Several residents have been relocated until repairs are made, the release said.
