Six Chapel Hill Fire Department trucks responded to a report of a structure fire just before one o’clock Tuesday afternoon at 500 Market Street in the Southern Village Neighborhood.
Authorities say the call was received from an alarm monitoring company as a fire alarm activation, before being elevated to a structure fire.
Spokesperson Lisa Edwards said in a press release that the sprinkler system in the unit extinguished the fire and firefighters investigated to ensure the fire had not spread.
The cause of the fire was determined to be cooking related. There were no injuries reported.
Edwards says cooking is the number one cause of home fires and home injuries.
