Three Rivers Fire Department firefighters pulled a man from a smoke-filled apartment over the weekend.
Fire personnel responded to a report of activated smoke detectors and the smell of smoke at an apartment on Lockport Drive around 6 a.m. Sunday. After getting no response from the occupant of the apartment, firefighters forced their way into the smoke-filled residence and found the man unresponsive and lying on a couch.
The man, whose name and age were not stated in a department news release, was taken to Three Rivers Health for examination.
The source of the fire was from the kitchen stove.
Fire Chief Dan Tomlinson said the situation was a good example of the life-saving value a working smoke detector provides.
