Because of the heavy volume of the fire, crews had to use a ladder truck to get the blaze under control. Then, firefighters were able to enter the building and extinguish the fire.
KFD reported that no one was injured, and three dogs escaped the fire.
There were four apartments in the building. Six adults and two children were displaced and are being assisted by the Red Cross.
