BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Birmingham firefighters rescued two people from a burning vacant apartment building on the city’s south side.
Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service was dispatched about 1:30 p.m. Saturday to 21st Way South, just off Highland Avenue . It was reported that someone was trapped in the three-story building.
They arrived to find smoke and fire. The smoke billowed over nearby Elton B. Stephens Expressway.
Crews used ladders to pull two people from a third-floor apartment.
Fire Chief Cory Moon, who was on the scene, said both were evaluated and neither was injured.
The building is vacant and does not have power. It wasn’t immediately clear if the two people rescued had been staying in there.
The cause of the blaze has not yet been determined.
