As the arctic cold front quickly approached Edmond last Wednesday, residents of the Villas at Stonebridge slept in their warm apartments. Little did some of them know that a fire earlier in the evening could have put them out in the cold.

When the call came in from the apartments, at 157 Stonebridge Boulevard, west of Boulevard and south of 33rd Street, fire crews rushed to the complex on a reported cooking fire, said Edmond Fire Maj. Mike Barnes. However after firefighters arrived, they were told a single fire sprinkler head had extinguished the fire, Barnes said.
