Units of the Westminster fire department responded shortly after the initial alarm was sounded at 3:07 am and found heavy fire in the second floor apartment that was spreading rapidly to the third floor.

Fire fighters from the Reese fire department quickly responded to the back of the building where there were reports that people were trapped and rescued four out the upper story windows.
