Multiple units were alerted for an apartment fire.  First on scene was a member of White Marsh VFC who lives in the area.  This member notified fire dispatch via cell phone that there was heavy fire showing from the ground floor apartment on the C/D corner.  The WMVFC member then alerted the residents of the fire building and the neighboring building of the fire so they could get to safety. 

First unit on scene was E8 from Fullerton.  E8 laid a 4" supply from the closest hydrant, pulled a 1 3/4" attack line and began an aggressive interior attack.  A second engine on the opposite side of the building stretched an attack line to the window of the involved apartment as backup.  Tower 209 laddered the roof to check for extension.  Tower 209 also assisted with searching all the other apartments in the building search for fire extension and possible victims. 

The only victim was one cat who passed of smoke inhalation. 

Multiple other units were in staging on Rossville Blvd.
