Lansing State Journal
A Thursday morning fire caused by a television led to the
evacuation of about 20 people from an apartment complex in south Lansing.
The fire took place at about 8:40 a.m. on the fifth floor of the
nine-floor complex at 920 S. Washington Ave., said Capt. John Dyer of the
Lansing Fire Department.
Nobody was injured in the fire.
"Something malfunctioned in the television. It caught on fire and
melted down," Dyer said. "There wasn't really much of a fire. It could've been
put out with a pan of water."
Apartment tenants were allowed to return to their apartments
shortly after the evacuation. Dyer said he didn't believe the occupants of the
unit where the fire occurred were home at the time.
There was smoke damage to the apartment where the fire broke out,
but fire officials said it still was livable.
