The initial alarm sounded at 2:10 a.m. for a reported fire in an apartment at the Applecroft Apartments in the 1700 block of West 19th Street.
When the first fire truck arrived at 2:14 a.m.- they reported "nothing showing-" but just a minute later report "a working fire" in the 3-story structure with "heavy smoke" inside the building reported at 2:17 a.m..
The incident commander requested a "2nd-alarm" at 2:20 a.m.- committing most of Lawrence's on-duty fire companies to this fire.
According to radio traffic from the scene- the fire sounded to be in a 1st-floor apartment.
No injuries have been reported- and so far no victims have been found in any of the apartments that fire crews have made "forced entry" into.
At 2:42 a.m.- the fire has been declared "under control" and there is yet no word on how many residents of the building have been displaced by this fire.
A KSHB-41 Action News photographer is on the way to the scene.
