2-Alarm Apartments Fire

Engine 7 responded to a set of apartments in the 1400 blk of Pearson Ave. S.W. Upon arrival, 7 reported smoke and fire and requested a full response. By themselves, Engine 7 began to attack the fire. Right away, a 2nd alarm was struck with companies responding to assist 7's crew.
