LFR crews were called to a vacant, two story house that contained four apartments near 12th and G Street around 8:45 a.m. Saturday, May 29th. They found a mattress on fire in the basement. Smoking material had started the fire.
There were several people at the building and several had to be walked out of the building by firefighters. Two were taken to a hospital to be checked out but no significant injuries were reported.
There is $20,000 damage to the building. The apartment house was vacant and had been condemned. Those inside were squatters.
The building is now red-tagged prohibiting others from entering.
