Two fires in Rochester were limited when sprinkler systems were able to contain flames until firefighters arrived.
The first incident occurred about 7:30 p.m. Monday at 2076 11th Ave. S.E., Unit A. A pot left cooking on a stove apparently started the fire in the condo. The sprinkler system put the fire out, said fire marshal Vance Swisher.
However, water from the sprinklers seeped into two other condo units, Swisher said, which resulted in damage estimated at $10,000.
In the second incident, smoke began filling Kindercare Learning Center, 2460 Clare Lane N.E., about 8 a.m. Tuesday. Firefighters said combustible storage materials were placed too close to a water heater. The children were evacuated.
The building’s sprinklers put out the fire, Swisher said. No one was injured; damage has been estimated at $3,000 to $5,000.
