Apartment Fire, 1235 Swinney Avenue
(November 14, 2015) – The Fort Wayne Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire at 1235 Swinney Avenue on November 14, 2015. Upon arrival, it was reported by FWPD that occupants of the first floor were out of the structure but conditions on the second floor did not allow them to confirm that the second floor was unoccupied. While the first Fire unit attacked the fire the second unit searched the second floor and found it to be unoccupied.
The structure housed 4 apartments with 2 sustaining heavy fire and water damage and the other 2 having smoke damage. No injuries were reported by any Occupant or Firefighter, but 2 cats did not survive the fire. Extensive overhaul of the fire apartment revealed no extension and the fire was put under control.
The Fort Wayne Fire Department was assisted at the scene by FWPD, NIPSCO, AEP, NCE, TRAA and Animal Control. The Occupants were assisted by the Red Cross.
The fire remains under investigation.
