HFD responded to multiple calls to 9-1-1 for an apartment fire and arrived to find a 3-story apartment building with fire coming through the roof. Crews from Stations 10, 48, 51, 57, 68, 73, 82 and 83 responded and the fire was declared under control at 7:36 p.m. Members of Rescue 10 evaluated the stability of the building. Balconies on the second and third floors were deemed too dangerous and a collapse hazard. The utilities were secured and the American Red Cross was on scene to assist the residents.
