No injuries were reported after a fire was reported Tuesday at a Jefferson City apartment building in the 100 block of Amador Avenue.
Firefighters found a fire on an upstairs apartment patio and quickly got it under control before it spread, a press release from the Jefferson City Fire Department says.
The release says the damage was limited to the outdoor patio area.
“Residents are reminded to use caution with any outdoor cooking or smoking that those items be extinguished and disposed of in a noncombustible container on balconies and patios, as these areas can present a significant fire risk if not properly maintained,” the release says.
