Sprinklers flood downtown high-rise condos after fire

Posted: Updated:
The Red Cross is helping displaced residents with shelter after fire sprinklers flooded 13 condos in a downtown high-rise.

A fire broke out at the Diamond Terrace condos near 9th Avenue and K Street around 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

According to firefighters, a heater near a closet started a fire in one of the units, triggering the sprinkler system.

The sprinklers extinguished the fire and no one was injured.
