Reader Luke Hizer wrote in about a fire on Taylor Ave N early this morning. He wrote,

There’s about 10 fire trucks, police, and ambulances up around Taylor N and Lee; they started showing up around 2am or 2:15am. The 911 log shows multiple calls for “fire in building”, and a bunch of units dispatched.

According to the Fire Department’s Public Information Office, several calls for a fire in a 4-unit (Correction: story originally read “4-story”) apartment building at 1415 Taylor Avenue N. came in at around 2:10 this morning. A message left on the PIO line said that the fire came from several rooms in one first-floor unit, and that smoke ventilated from this unit to others in the building.

The Fire Department was able to evacuate the building and put out the fire in a short time. The residents of the apartment where the fire originated were checked on the scene for smoke inhalation, but were not taken to the hospital. No one was injured. An investigation into the cause of the fire is currently underway.

(Thanks to Luke for the tip!)
