CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — The Champaign Fire Department said everyone is okay after an apartment fire Saturday afternoon.

It happened at 4:47 p.m. on Providence Circle near North McKinley Avenue. When crews arrived at the two-story apartment building, they said they found nothing outside. After going inside to investigate further, they found a fire in a bedroom.

The fire was brought under control due to the building sprinkler system. Firefighters used a fire extinguisher to snuff out the remaining hot spots.
