First arriving units marked on location approximately three minutes later and reported a haze from the rear of the structure.
Crews found and quickly extinguished a fire in the laundry area on the first floor. Crews reported smoke conditions throughout the structure and worked to ventilate and eliminate the smoke. The fire was marked under control approximately five minutes after arrival.
All occupants self-evacuated prior to the arrival of units and none reported injuries. The fire alarm system was present and did activate. All occupants were able to reoccupy the structure.
