Fire Causes $200,000 in Damage to Apartment Building

Investigators are working to determine the cause of a fire that caused an estimated $200,000 in damage to a four-apartment building this morning in Springfield.

The blaze at Brentwood Estates at 317 30th St. was reported just after 10 a.m. The fire began on the ground floor of an apartment, and spread to the building’s common attic area, Battalion Chief Dana Burwell said.

Two apartments sustained heavy damage, but firefighters stopped the fire before flames crept into the building’s other two apartments, Burwell said.

One firefighter sustained a “minor” injury when a television set fell onto his ankle while he fought the blaze, Burwell said.
