Incident Details

Firefighters responded to Sunfish Court for a reported structure fire in an apartment building. 

Upon arrival, Engine 6 saw no smoke or flames from the outside, but further investigation revealed burnt food in one of the apartments. 

The tenant reported having a small grease fire, and he brought the pan outside. The occupant suffered fire-related injuries but did not want to be taken to the hospital.

Engine 6 cleared the smoke from the affected apartment and turned the apartment back over to the tenant.
