No One Hurt in Apartment Fire Saturday

Easley firefighters responded to an apartment fire Saturday afternoon.

According to Capt. Tim Rowland with the Easley Fire Department, firefighters received a call about a fire at 505 W. Main Street at 4:58pm.

The firefighters first on the scene reported smoke coming from the apartment's roof.

After entering the unit, firefighters found smoke and flames in the kitchen area, Rowland said.

The fire was contained to the stove and the cabinets and ceiling above it, Rowland said.

Firefighters searched the attic to make sure the fire had not spread into it, then remained on the scene performing salvage and overhaul.

The apartment and its contents were heavily damaged, Rowland said. 

Firefighters were unable to determine if the apartment had any smoke detectors, Rowland said.

Neither the occupants nor the firefighters were injured in the fire, he said.

The fire has been ruled accidental, Rowland said. 

Easley police assisted with traffic and crowd control and Easley Combined Utilities disconnected the power from the apartment.
