First arriving units reported a working structure fire with heavy fire conditions in a single-story, multi-unit apartment building. Two units of the triplex apartment were heavily involved in fire and flames were shooting from the roof.
The two units involved in fire were occupied by three individuals each. Two residents of one unit suffered serious burns and were airlifted from the scene and transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center. A third patient was evaluated at the scene but was not transported. The remaining three residents had no injuries and were not evaluated. All residents of the building have been accounted for. Patient conditions have not been provided.
In addition to battling the blaze and caring for injured patients, firefighters also had to be cautious of downed power lines at the scene. Florida Power & Light cut power to the grid around the fire scene, affecting an unknown number of customers for approximately 30 minutes.
