No injuries were reported in an early morning Lawrence 4-plex apartment building fire.
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Department was called to 1105 George Ct. just after 2:00 a.m. Sunday.
Heavy smoke and flames were reported from a two story wood 4-plex apartment building.
A second alarm was called, and crews backed out and began a defensive mode, attacking the fire from the outside due to the flames shooting from the roof and wind gusts.
Fire crews began making headway from the exterior, and again went back inside and got the fire under control just before 3:30 a.m.
The Red Cross is assisting nine displaced occupants, and an investigation on the cause is underway.
