On Friday, December 6th, 2025, at 1726 hours, offsite monitoring notified dispatch of a zone 3 fire alarm signal at 1315 N Liberty Street (Liberty Lakes Apartments). Engine 6 on arrival reported smoke in the area, audible alarms, sprinkler activation, and heavy smoke in a first-floor unit of a 3-story wood framed multifamily residential structure. E6 pulled an attack line while Truck 4 searched the apartment finding a smoldering cardboard box on a stove cooktop with a single activated sprinkler holding the fire in check. The apartment was discovered unoccupied. Primary search, check for extension, salvage, and overhaul completed by crews on scene. Alarm and sprinkler system secured by Ladder 5 upon receipt of fire control. No injuries reported as a result of this incident. Potential smoke and fire damages nearly eliminated due to working fire protection systems.



The outcome of this accidental fire serves as another great example of life safety features in action. Thanks for your efforts out there!



Cheers!

I was asked by Amanda B. from DOPL to send this out so that everyone knows what the current code is on the devices for recall that have been a little confusing lately.

2.27.3.2 Phase I Emergency Recall Operation by Fire

Alarm Initiating Devices

ð22Þ 2.27.3.2.1 In jurisdictions not enforcing the NBCC,

smoke detectors or other automatic fire detectors in environments

not suitable for smoke detectors (fire alarm

initiating devices) used to initiate Phase I Emergency

Recall Operation shall be installed in conformance with

the requirements of NFPA 72 and shall be located

(a) at each elevator lobby served by the elevator

(b) in the associated elevator machine room, a

machinery space containing a motor controller or

driving machine, a control space, or a control room

(c) in the elevator hoistway when sprinklers are

located in those hoistways more than 600 mm (24 in.)

above the pit floor or when required by other applicable

codes or standards to actuate elevator hoistway smoke

relief equipment

NOTES:

(1) 2.27.3.2.1(b): A machinery space containing a motor

controller or driving machine located in the elevator

hoistway or a control space located in the elevator hoistway

requires a fire alarm initiating device regardless of the presence

of sprinklers.

(2) 2.27.3.2.1(c): A fire alarm initiating device is not required in

the pit regardless of the presence of sprinklers.
