At approximately 2 a.m., the Wyoming Fire Department responded to a structure fire at a 36-unit apartment building in the 2200 block of Michael Ave S.W.
The first arriving fire units observed smoke coming from within one of the units. The responding units were able to contain and extinguish the fire, preventing it from fully spreading to the remainder of the apartment building. There were no reported injuries to people or pets.
The Wyoming Fire Department was notified of this fire by an observant tenant who smelled smoke. The tenant’s quick call to 911 allowed the fire department to respond quickly and minimize damage.
