A three alarm fire broke out at an 18-unit apartment complex in Alameda Saturday morning, destroying several units and displacing several residents.
Firefighters received reports around 10:30 a.m. that a blaze was quickly spreading through the apartment complex on the 900 block of Shorepoint Court near Westline Drive.
Shortly before noon, almost 60 firefighters responded to a call reporting the blaze at a three-story, 18-unit building in the 900 block of Shorepoint Court, near Westline, Division Chief Daren Olson said.
Firefighters used a ladder to rescue two residents from the second and third floors, Olson said.
At least six units were destroyed from heavy fire damage and other units sustained major smoke damage, he said. The building's lower units sustained extensive water damage, he said.
