At 10:15 in the morning, the fire department was called to a fire at Sugar Mills Apartments, 9900 Riverside Drive. Apparently, a Peruvian guest, his first time in this country was staying in an apartment on the third floor of the building. He was trying to cook his breakfast. Confused on the workings of the stove , he turned all of the controls to the ‘on’ position. Something on the stove, caught fire, and the gentleman fled down the hall knocking on the neighbors door. This fire demonstrated the level of cooperation between the Fire and Police Departments. On scene was the Fire Departments Instructor looking over the details of how the Fire Fighters performed, as well as how the response and procedures can be improved in the future.
Seen below is one of the residents who made sure to bring his pet birds out of the apartment complex..
