Clinton Fire Department responds to apartment fire

No one was injured after an apartment fire in Clinton yesterday.

The Clinton Fire Department was dispatched to the 2600 block of N. Fourth Street at about 8:14 p.m. last night for a report of a second-floor apartment on fire. When the department arrived with 12 personnel, they found heavy smoke and fire coming from a second-floor apartment. Several bystanders reported that people were still inside the apartment.

Firefighters knocked down the fire quickly, got a water supply and searched four apartments, but didn’t find anyone inside. Crews remained onsite for about two hours, looking for hot spots. The fire remains under investigation.
