MODESTO – Firefighters rushed to a report of smoke from an attic Tuesday afternoon, quickly extinguishing a small attic fire before it could spread to the rest of an apartment complex.
The fire was dispatched at about 12:15pm to the Redwood Apartments at the corner of Yosemite Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue. Arriving firefighters found smoke blowing out of an attic vent.
The fire was described as small and quickly controlled. Officials at the scene did not believe the residents would be displaced as long as they could determine the source of the issue.
At least one unit suffered some damage, but possibly a second one due to water.
Fire investigators were on scene working to determine the cause of the fire.
