Box Of Tissues Catches Fire In East Side Apartment

Nobody was injured after a small fire ignited inside a Sherman Terrace apartment early Monday morning.
 
The resident says he uses an ashtray with water to dispose of cigarette butts, but a box of tissues situated next to the ashtray caught fire.
 
Firefighters put out the fire using water from the kitchen sink. Ladder 1 and Engine 3 remained on scene to ventilate the apartment. They learned the apartment had no smoke detectors in it, so they installed a new one for the resident.
