Kitchener, Ontario fire dispatch received a call from Regional Police reporting an apartment fire in the downtown at 37 King St West at 9:38. A foot patrol officer doing a routine person stop at 41 King St W spotted the smoke. Dispatch advised responding crews they were receiving multiple calls for the fire. An additional pumper was added to the call at this time. Regional Police had the building evacuated as crews arrived on scene. P5 was first on scene reporting heavy smoke and fire showing from the third floor. P5 firefighters used a 2.5” line from the road to knock most of the fire down while lines were being pulled up to the floor. A2 and P1 went to the rear of the building. Firefighters from P1 assisted two residents from the balcony at the rear, both were treated for smoke inhalation by paramedics. The fire was knocked down very quickly, with no extension to either exposure. Photos taken 10 minutes into the fire. Box 690 provided rehab.
