The Davenport Fire Department responded just before 10:30 p.m. to fire alarm activation. Once on scene, crews saw there was a fire in a unit on the third floor.
The building's sprinkler system was able to extinguish the fire, but there was a lot of smoke and water still inside. Crews evacuated the building, shut down the sprinkler system and removed the water and smoke.
