Chaos erupted in the 3000 Block of Las Vegas Trail today as an apartment went up in flames, prompting an urgent response from the Fort Worth Fire Department. According to a Facebook post by the Fort Worth Fire Department, the alarm office was bombarded with calls about the fire at precisely 2:30 pm, with witnesses expressing concern that someone might still be trapped inside.

First responders, with Engine 23 leading the charge, were greeted by an alarming sight, flames were visibly consuming one of the apartment units—this necessitated a prompt extinguishing action, the team swiftly unpacked a 2” hose for a quick offensive; meanwhile, Quint 23 launched into a brave search mission. Fortunately, their efforts were not in vain as the unit was declared empty, "Thankfully, no one was found inside," as per the Fort Worth Fire Department, providing a sliver of relief amidst the tumult.

The team worked diligently, and their rapid reaction and expertise paid off as they managed to get the blaze under control within a short period. As of now, no injuries have been reported from this harrowing incident—the Fort Worth community was spared the sorrow of personal harm on this day.
