No injuries after small fire in southwest Lawrence apartment

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical emergency workers responded to a small apartment fire in the 2100 block of West 26th Street around 5:30 p.m. Monday.

According to Division Chief Joe Hoelscher, the fire was contained to the top of a stove and cabinet directly above the stove in an apartment unit on the upper level of the two-story complex.

While nobody required medical attention, Hoelscher was unsure whether the fire would displace anyone for the night. His department suggested the occupants not stay there but the residents were still undecided on what they would do as crews were leaving.
