Glenwood Apartment Fire
Kenosha
Kenosha firefighters responded to a fire alarm in a building
unit at the Glenwood Apartments. An elderly man was treated
for smoke inhalation after his apartment caught fire while
he was cooking food on a stove. The fire was quickly doused
because apartments were protected by sprinklers. Water damaged
did affect six apartments and the total damage estimate was
$40,000, according to Matthew Haerter, Kenosha Fire Department
battalion chief.
"When fire occurs and there are sprinklers, it usually
means injuries and damage are minor," Haerter said. "If
there hadn’t have been a sprinkler system, there very
well could have been a fire death and significant damage."
