SFD said that multiple fire crews searched the interior of the unaffected units to ensure all occupants were evacuated and the fire did not spread. The fire was successfully contained to the initial two units of the building.
“The fire was monitored for hot spots and was declared extinguished at 8:48 a.m.,” stated SFD. “No injuries were reported.”
