Emergency responders rushed to a 14-story apartment building early Thursday after a fire broke out on the 12th floor, successfully evacuating residents and limiting the blaze to that level. The fire alarm triggered around 1:53 a.m. on March 19, summoning firefighters to the 120-unit structure. Officials report no injuries, though the event shattered the predawn calm and forced temporary relocation for occupants on higher levels.

Probe teams are examining the scene to pinpoint the cause, which may stem from electrical issues often seen in aging buildings. Updates on property damage and potential safety code violations are expected as the investigation progresses.
