A fire engine races to the scene of an emergency.
Thirty-six people fled a burning west-side Bloomington apartment building without any injuries Sunday night, according to the Bloomington Fire Department.
Crews responded to a call just before 8 p.m. at the Traditions Bloomington Apartments, 265 Reeveston Drive. Upon arrival, BFD crews found flames spreading up an exterior wall into the attic space of the 20 unit apartment. Crews brought two hand lines inside for an offensive attack and search.
Fire had spread throughout the attic space and the decision was made to go offensive, a search determined all 36 residents were out of the building. No injuries were reported by residents or firefighters.
One cat was transported to the animal hospital with what seemed to be non life threatening injuries.
Red Cross is currently assisting the tenants who are being cared for inside the traditions apartment complex main office.
Crews remain on scene cleaning up and monitoring small spot fires.
