The Brewer Fire Department is crediting the activation of an Automatic Fire Alarm for its quick response to a fire on North Main Street just before 10 pm Saturday.
Firefighters say they found smoke inside an apartment and quickly located a small pile of clothing that was on fire.
They say the fire was quickly extinguished, and the hazard was removed from the building, preventing any significant damage from spreading.
They say the call started as a routine alarm and escalated quickly.
The firefighters say rapid action underscores the critical role of Automatic Fire Alarm systems and the importance of a quick, decisive response.
