When fire crews arrived, they found a strong fire in the back of the building, extending into the attic space, the release stated. Fire crews hooked up large hose lines to nearby fire hydrants for water and searched the area for missing people and pets.

Four units of the multi-family home were damaged in the fire, and one person was injured, officials said. The injury was minor, but paramedics transported the individual to the hospital.
Fire crews got the fire under control just before 11 p.m., but crews remained on scene to extinguish hot spots. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
