Apartment fire causes estimated $45,000 in damage

Olympia firefighters responded to a fire alarm about 6:45 p.m. Wednesday at an apartment complex on Olympia’s west side.

When they arrived at the Fern Street Southwest building, they found a fire inside one of the second-floor apartments. The small fire was being kept under control by the automatic sprinkler system. Fire crews finished extinguishing the fire and ensured all occupants had exited the building.

Damage was limited to a corner of the living room and was estimated at $45,000.

The Olympia Fire Department responded. McLane Fire District 9 provided assistance by responding to an unrelated call for medical aid within the city.

No one was injured. The cause of the fire was undetermined Thursday.
