Crews were able to extinguish the fire with an interior attack with multiple hoselines. The fire had already extended into the attic space but was quickly extinguished.

No residents or firefighters were injured. The American Red Cross provided assistance to the two displaced residents. Several of the apartments were vacant at the time of the fire.
