The first arriving engine reported heavy fire showing from multiple windows on the second floor of an eight-unit apartment complex. Crews made entry to attack the fire and begin a search. The bulk of the fire was quickly knocked down and all searches were negative. Crews then remained on-scene extinguishing hot spots. One man was injured when he had to jump from a porch roof to escape the flames. Three of the eight apartments were badly damaged due to the fire. The American Red Cross is assisting those displaced. The fire is still under investigation.
