A resident of the Crescent Plaza Apartments near 52nd and Fremont was injured in a fire at the Crescent Plaza Apartments just after noon on Friday.
LFR Public Information Officer MJ Lierman says a maintenance worker heard the fire alarms going off and called 911 and let fire crews into the apartment with a key.
“Crews found one patient in the apartment and they were quickly transported to the hospital,” Lierman said.
The victim suffered serious injuries, according to Lierman, who tells KLIN News there was a small active grease fire in kitchen area.
Other residents were able to evacuate safely and the fire was contained to the single apartment unit. The total damage estimates are around $25,000 and the apartment unit below suffered minor water damage.
