Fire damages DeKalb apartments

DeKALB – At least two apartments were damaged Monday in a fire at Mason Properties, 921 Normal Road in DeKalb.



The DeKalb Fire Department arrived at the apartment complex at 10:39 a.m. and took about 30 minutes to extinguish the fire, which damaged units 108 and 208. Fire Chief Eric Hicks said everyone in the building got out and no one was hurt.



The fire started below a hot water heater in apartment 208, where firefighters first attacked the blaze. After discovering the fire extended into the floor space between the first-floor apartment ceiling and second-level apartment floor, the firefighters then entered apartment 108, according to an incident report.
