March, 2006
apartment/former toy factory

Firefighters from the Sheboygan Fire Department responded to a fire located in an apartment bedroom. A woman fell asleep while smoking a cigarette that ignited the bed's comforter.

One fire sprinkler in the bedroom activated and extinguished the fire, likely saving the woman’s life. Smoke and water damage were contained primarily to the first floor bedroom, although some water did seep into the basement damaging drywall and insulation.
