Late Sunday night turned tense in downtown Sacramento when a reported fire at the Washington Plaza apartments on E Street between 13th and 14th sent multiple fire crews rushing to the building. Sacramento City Fire upgraded the call to a two-alarm response, and residents were ordered out of the complex. On-scene reporters and tenants said the blaze appeared to have started in a sixth-floor unit, even as crews on the street reported no visible flames from outside.
According to KCRA 3, several fire crews converged on Washington Plaza and at least six fire trucks ended up blocking E Street. The outlet also noted that West Sacramento fire units responded to assist and that Sacramento City Fire had not yet returned the station’s request for additional information. The report was last updated at 11:42 p.m. PDT on May 3.
