HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Two firefighters were hurt battling a two-alarm fire that damaged 24 units at an apartment complex in Henrico's West End Friday afternoon.
Crews were called to a two-story apartment on Chase Gayton Circle, near the intersection of Gaskins Road and Quioccasin Road, for a report of a fire at 1:35 p.m.
"Henrico firefighters knew it was a pretty significant fire when they were responding to the scene and saw a large plume of black smoke coming from the Chase Gayton apartment complex," reporter Jon Burkett said. "That's when the fire chief says they triggered a second alarm to move more resources to this area."
