Bethlehem police and fire officials are investigating a fire at a woman's apartment Thursday morning that has been ruled an arson. The fire happened around 8:30 am at a third-floor apartment at the Moravian House, 70 W. North St. No one was injured and police and fire officials declined to release the woman's name, pending completion of the investigation. The fire was set on the floor of the woman's bathroom and while the flames only damaged a rug and shower curtain, there was extensive damage because a sprinkler was activated, Bethlehem Fire Marshal Robert Novatnack said. Water from the sprinkler went from the third floor all the way into the building's basement and damaged other apartments and offices, Novatnack said. He estimated damage from the fire at around $1,000. - Pamela Lehman (from the Morning Call Allentown, Pa.) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
