A 4 Alarm Fire ripped through an apartment building in Downtown Sacramento early Sunday morning. The fire was reported at 2:20 A.M. at 10th and E Streets. Sacramento Firefighters arrived within a few minutes and found heavy fire from the two story apartment building. As they prepared to attack the fire, the entire second floor of the building collapsed.
A total of 4 Alarms were requested and because of the extent of the fire involvement, Firefighters went to a Defensive Mode and protected exposures. A second building had significant fire damage.
There were no reported injuries and the fire is currently under investigation. A young girl had awaken to the smell of smoke and she was able to alert her family and an elderly neighbor. They all escaped the fire safely. The American Red Cross was called in to help find shelter for one elderly man.
