AFD responded within minutes to the 6000 Block of Downey St. NE to a residential structure fire. All four occupants self-evacuated prior to our arrival. One woman was treated with minor smoke inhalation on scene by AFD rescue 13.
The small fire in the attic was extinguished within 15 min. AFD contained the fire to the attic and prevented further damage to the home.
The cause of the fire was due to an electrical malfunction.
The occupants will be displaced and will stay with relatives.
