Firefighters battled an apartment fire in Halifax Sunday morning.

According to the Halifax Professional Fire Fighters Association, crews responded to a fire at a multi-unit residential building on Dutch Village Road around 10:45 a.m.

Upon arrival, crews encountered “advancing fire conditions” and initiated an interior fire attack to bring the situation under control.

“Given the multi-unit nature of the building, crews forced entry into adjacent apartments to conduct searches and evacuate residents as a precaution,” read the social media post.

One person was treated by EHS paramedics.

There is no word on a cause at this time.
