Fire crews responded to smoke reported at a building on Welcome Street. They found a smoke condition inside but no spreading fire. The smoke was caused by a burst pipe and a tool bag that had been left on top of a heater, which started to burn slightly and produce smoke. Crews used a fan to clear the smoke and checked multiple floors to confirm there was no active fire extension.
