Sprinklers Douse Concord Apartment Fire

Blaze started in kitchen of California Street unit. No injuries reported.

A kitchen fire in a Concord apartment Saturday afternoon was quickly doused by sprinklers, a Contra Costa County Fire Protection District dispatcher said.

Fire crews responded around 12:45 p.m. Saturday to reports of a blaze at an apartment building in the 2100 block of California Street, the dispatcher said.

Crews arriving on the scene saw some smoke coming from a second-floor apartment. Fire sprinklers helped extinguish the blaze, which started in the apartment's kitchen, according to a statement from the fire district. The fire was deemed under control in less than 15 minutes, the dispatcher said.

It was not immediately known whether the fire displaced any residents at the apartment. No injuries were reported.
