The Alexandria Fire Department extinguished a kitchen fire in a West End high-rise apartment yesterday (Sunday) that caused visible clouds of black smoke.
The resident of an apartment at the 5800 block of Quantrell Avenue called AFD around 2 p.m. Sunday to report a smoking microwave. Fire crews arrived at the apartment to find black smoke billowing from the tenth-floor apartment’s balcony.
Inside, crews extinguished a small fire in the kitchen cabinets, according to radio dispatches. No injuries were reported.
The apartment building is located near the intersection with N. Armistead Street and two blocks south of N. Beauregard Street. Last week, AFD extinguished a car fire nearby at the 5900 block of Quantrell Avenue.
