Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services credit smoke alarms and sprinklers from preventing disaster at an apartment complex on Dovedale Way in Germantown Friday. Firefighters responded to a blaze in an apartment there that was quickly extinguished by the building's sprinkler system.

Smoke alarms alerted the resident, who escaped unharmed. That resident has been temporarily displaced from the apartment. MCFRS ventilated the apartment post-fire.
