One person was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation following a fire at a Sun Prairie apartment building.
Firefighters responded to reports of smoke and an active fire alarm Thursday at an apartment along the 1000 block of O’Keefe Avenue.
Crews found a fire inside one unit had been extinguished by a single fire sprinkler, according to a release by the Sun Prairie Fire Department. Firefighters credit the fire sprinkler for saving the apartment building and only used a fan to clear out smoke in their response. There are 28 units in the building, but only one unit was damaged. Damage costs are estimated at $15,000, the release said.
