Firefighters responding to the scene forced their way into the building and found water flowing from under a door. Inside that room, they found a fire in a trash can that did not spread because of the activated sprinkler system.
Authorities said the fire was caused by the trash can being too close to the boiler.
The fire was extinguished, the water was shut off and the building was ventilated. No injuries were reported.
