<\/p>\nReported fire in apartment building triggers large response in downtown Sacramento<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWOW. THANK YOU. YOU\u2019RE WELCOME. WE HAVE SOME BREAKING NEWS JUST INTO OUR NEWSROOM RIGHT NOW. THERE IS A FIRE IN SACRAMENTO. A LARGE FIRE RESPONSE, AN APARTMENT COMPLEX BY 13TH AND E STREETS ON THE THEY SAY JOINS US LIVE ON THIS. WHAT CAN YOU SEE OUT THERE? YEAH. SO WE JUST GOT TO THE SCENE. BUT IT\u2019S IN THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX RIGHT BEHIND ME HERE. I WAS SPEAKING TO A COUPLE OF RESIDENTS WHO LIVE INSIDE THE APARTMENT COMPLEX WHO TELL ME THEY BELIEVE THE FIRE STARTED ON THE SIXTH FLOOR IN A UNIT ALL THE WAY UP THERE. NOW, WE DON\u2019T SEE ANY ACTIVE FLAMES FROM THE GROUND HERE ON THE STREET. BUT KEEP IN MIND, SACRAMENTO CITY FIRE ISSUED THIS AS A TWO ALARM FIRE, WHICH MEANS A HEAVY RESPONSE. THERE\u2019S ABOUT AT LEAST SIX FIRE TRUCKS BLOCKING E STREET. SO PRETTY LARGE RESPONSE BECAUSE YOU GOT TO KEEP IN MIND HERE IN DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO, A LOT OF THESE HOMES ARE CLOSE TOGETHER. SO THEY WANT TO ACTIVATE THOSE SECOND ALARMS MORE QUICKLY THAN THEY WOULD, YOU KNOW, OF A TWO ALARM SOMEWHERE ELSE. BECAUSE OF THAT FEAR THAT THESE FIRES CAN SPREAD. BUT AGAIN, WE KNOW THAT THEY\u2019VE EVACUATED MOST OF THE RESIDENTS OUT OF THIS BUILDING BECAUSE OF THAT RESPONSE. AND WE DO HAVE A AGAIN, A LARGE RESPONSE FROM SACRAMENTO CITY FIRE, EVEN WEST SACRAMENTO FIRE HAS COME OVER TO THIS. BUT AGAIN, WE DON\u2019T SEE ANY ACTIVE FLAMES OR SMOKE COMING FROM THE RESIDENCE, AT LEAST IN THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX. BUT AGAIN, WE\u2019RE STILL WORKING TO GET THE DETAILS. WE\u2019RE STILL TRYING TO FIND THOSE ANSWERS TO SEE IF ANYBODY HAS BEEN INJURED. BUT AGAIN, WE\u2019LL GET Y\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
