Major fire a, erte
on Catnpbell
BY GAMIC
Sentinel Staff
On Feb. 4 a potential
major fire on Campbell St.
was averted when an
upstairs tenant smelled
smoke.
When Lucknow District
Fire Department firefight-
ers arrived on the scene.
they investigated and upon
entry to a downstairs
apartment they discovered
a mattress on fire. The
mattress was in a storage
area of the apartment.
The mattress was
removed and the smoke
was cleared. Damages
were minimal due to the
quick response of the ten-
ant and firefighters.
The apartment had no
working smoke alarm and
it's the opinion of the fire
department that had this
fire occurred at night there
may have been casualties
and a major structure fire.
In this case the landlord
had installed smoke
alarms in every unit of the
complex, but the tenants
had removed the detectors.'
Once again, the fire _
department is reminding
people that they must have
a working smoke detector
on every floor of their
apartments and homes.
