At 2:45 PM this afternoon, the City of Tyler Fire Department received a call for an apartment fire at 2601 S Southeast Loop 323, the Fox Run apartments.
Engine 7, Engine 8, Engine 2, Ladder 2, Battalion 2, and Fire Marshal 7 were dispatched to the scene where flames were coming from an upper balcony. Engine 8 arrived on scene first and started with a fast attack on the balcony. Other units arrived and assisted.
At 3:01 PM a second alarm call was dispatched for Engine 9 but was quickly disregarded because the firefighters on scene had the fire out. Engine 9 was moved to operate out of Station 2 for coverage in the south.
Oncor is assisting with getting power back to the units in the building as it was cut off for fire suppression.
It is unknown to RCEMedia what caused the fire and if there were any injuries. All units were clear of the scene around 4:30 PM.
