AFD said crews were “deploying hand lines to attack the fire.” Then, in a 7:40 p.m. update, the agency said the fire was “knocked down” and “contained” to the apartment where it started.
“Crews are working to extinguish hot spots in the walls,” AFD said. “One lane of service road is blocked due to supply hose lines on roadway.”
By 8:15 p.m., AFD said the fire was extinguished, with “no civilian or firefighter injuries.”
No other details were available Saturday.
