Residents of the apartment building at 10 Coventry St. evacuated Monday evening when a small kitchen fire broke out in a first floor apartment.

At 6:07 p.m., the stove fire started in room 108, setting off all of the building’s fire alarms and first floor sprinklers, according to a Boston Fire Department report obtained by The News in a Sep. 18 email.

“I heard the first beep go off in our hallway and didn’t think anything of it,” said Ian Duffey, a sixth-floor resident of the building and second-year business administration major. “Then, 10 seconds later, the alarm started going off in our room and it was super loud.”

Members of the Boston Fire Department arrived three minutes after the alarm first went off. By that time, the sprinklers had extinguished the blaze. Firefighters shut off electricity to the apartment unit and adjacent units that were experiencing water damage from the sprinklers, according to the report.

Students evacuated the building and were told to avoid the scene while authorities took care of the situation, Duffey said.

“We got down to the first floor and it was full of smoke,” said Tyler Miller, a second-year business administration major, who lives with Duffey on the sixth floor.

Residents of six apartments were relocated to International Village and will return to their building within the next day or two, said Renata Nyul, Northeastern’s vice president of communications, in a Sep. 18 email to The News. All other residents were allowed back into the building later that night.

“We were looking in the window of the room where [the fire] happened and you could see the reflection of a puddle of water — a few inches high at least. It was all flooded,” Duffey said.

The fire department cleared the building at 6:40 p.m. according to the report. Workers from the university entered the building to begin cleaning the water flooding the first floor.

No one was injured during the incident and the apartment where the fire broke out will be fully repaired, Nyul said.

The Boston Fire Department estimated that $1,000 worth of property damage occurred as a result of the blaze.
