Firefighters Quickly Extinguish Fire On Greenview Drive [Video]

A man was displaced from his condominium on Greenview Drive after a fire Monday night.

Sixty firefighters from all three were called to a structure fire at 12 Greenview Drive around 9 p.m. However, the police were first on the scene where the resident, who was unidentified, had knocked down a portion of the fire with an extinguisher, Fire Capt. Henry Vasel said.

The fire extended into the walls of the condominium and the firefighters quickly put it out, Vasel said. There was smoke damage to neighboring units, however those residents are expected to return to their homes. 

The man in the unit where the fire started will be displaced for about a week, according to Vasel.

No residents or firefighters were injured while fighting the fire.
