One engine company and five firefighters responding to the scene at 1100 NW Bond Street shortly before 7 p.m. found the sprinkler system had activated and extinguished the fire, the captain said.
The damage was limited to the electronic system for the elevator controls, O’Malley said, adding that the floor drain protected the basement from water damage.
Court proceedings on Monday were reportedly cancelled over concerns about air quality.
