Arriving firefighters were informed that the fire was on the second floor and all of the occupants were out of the building. Personnel located the fire in a utility closet in apartment 2 on the second floor. Crews on the third floor conducting a primary search for occupants also encountered fire. Due to the discovery of fire on the third floor and the extension into the walls and floor, a third alarm was transmitted.
The fire was reported under control at around 5:24 p.m.
"Due to the quick response time and fast-acting firefighters, (the) damage was kept to a minimum. There were no injuries as a result of this incident," the City of Kingston Fire Department stated.
