GAINESVILLE - All of the fire department activity on Browns Bridge Road in Gainesville Friday afternoon was the result of a car hitting a building.<br />
<br />
Gainesville Fire Department Division Chief Keith Smith said there were no injuries and only minor damage to the exterior of Pinecove Apartments.<br />
<br />
Smith said, however, "One apartment will have to be repaired before the occupant can move back in.<br />
<br />
He said the vehicle also hit a transformer, knocking out power to most of the building and causing a small fire which was put out by some of the people living at the complex.<br />
<br />
Smith said the driver of the car was arrested for "suspicion of DUI."<br />
