A woman was taken to hospital with a suspected broken leg Saturday night after jumping out of her second-story apartment window.
Halifax Fire and Emergency acting commander Greg Hebb told Global News that emergency crews were called to 6095 Coburg Rd. at around 11:30 p.m.
He said they were able to quickly knock the fire down, however ventilation was an issue as smoke spread up through several floors of the 10-story building.

An early investigation revealed that the fire appeared to have started on the couch in the living room. The lone female occupant woke up to find heavy smoke filling her apartment and was forced to jump out a window.
She was taken to hospital by EHS.
Fire investigators turned the scene back over to the building owner Sunday morning.
