The fire's at an apartment building in the 11700 block of Holliday Drive- near the intersection of Blue Ridge and Longview Road in the Ruskin Heights area.
That's when Pumper 42 arrived and saw "heavy smoke showing from the 1st- floor of a 2-story apartment building.
A minute later- a person was reported "trapped" in a 2nd-floor apartment. That person is reported to be a very heavy-set female- and the firefighters decided to "hold her in place" or in her apartment- "until the smoke clears."
It appeared this female will need emergency transport to a medical facility according to fire scene radio comms.
However- the woman refused any trip to the hospital it was reported at 4:38 p.m..
Three EMS units have been sent and/or on-scene and at 4:20 p.m.- the fire's been declared "under control."
No one else was harmed in this fire and the cause is currently under investigation.
