Posted May 08, 2023 1:00 am
Two residents were injured in an apartment complex fire in Addison Sunday evening that caused an estimated $200,000 in damage.
Firefighters were called to the three-story building about 5:30 p.m. and used ladders to rescue "several residents" trapped inside the building.
One resident was taken to a hospital, while a second was treated at the scene.
The fire started in the kitchen of a second-floor unit, fire officials said. It spread throughout the second-floor unit and extended to a third-floor unit as well. Both units were deemed uninhabitable.
The blaze was extinguished in about 10 minutes, but firefighters remained on scene for nearly two hours.
Officials said the complex's fire alarms worked properly.
