PORT ANGELES – Fire sprinklers quickly put out a fire in a Port Angeles apartment complex.

Port Angeles Fire Department was called to 1003 South C. Street just before noon Sunday for the possible structure fire.

First arriving units found light smoke showing from one unit, and all the occupants had evacuated.  The sprinkler system had been activated in the bedroom of the unit and extinguished the fire.

Fire officials say the fire was started by bedroom furnishings placed too close to a baseboard heater.
