Ann Arbor firefighters extinguished a kitchen fire Tuesday night that started under a sink and spread to the outside of an apartment building, a fire official said.
Firefighters went at 10:12 p.m. Tuesday to the 800 block of West Jefferson Street for a report of smoke coming from under a sink, Ann Arbor Fire Department Battalion Chief Steven Lowe said in a statement. The building is a two-story apartment building with two apartments in it.
Lowe said the occupants of the apartment building were outside when firefighters arrived. Fire started in the wall behind the kitchen sink and extended to the outside of the building.
The fire also burned in the floor space between the first and second floors, Lowe said.
“Fire crews worked hard and were able to contain the fire damage to a small portion of the building,” he said.
There were no reported injuries, but Huron Valley Ambulance still responded to the fire.
There was no damage estimate immediately available Wednesday morning and it’s unknown if the occupants were displaced from the building.
