Montgomery firefighters battle fire at apartment building

Montgomery firefighters have battled a fire at an apartment building.

Assistant Fire Chief Stanley Cooper said the fire was reported just a few minutes past midnight this morning in the 3100 block of Biltmore Avenue.  That is near the Eastbrook Shopping Center, just off Coliseum Boulevard.

Cooper said the building is a large two-story structure. Hand lines were laid in a unit on the first floor. Everyone got out unhurt.

The fire department chaplain was called to the scene to help the displaced residents.

Cooper said the cause is under investigation.
