Police, fire departments sent to a fire at Tulip Tree Apartments
\nIUPD officers were dispatched Tuesday evening to a third floor room in the Tulip Tree Apartment complex when they received a complaint of heavy smoke, Munroe said reading from the police report. He said when they arrived, a small fire had just been put out by a housing assistant. \nMunroe said after the officers arrived on the scene and made sure no one was in the apartment, the fire department also arrived to remove the smoke from the room and hallway. The cause of the fire reportedly was from someone cooking pork on a stove, he said. \nIt was unclear at the time if there was any fire damage due to the fact that the powder from the distinguished covered most of the room. If there was any damage it was minor, Munroe said. \n
