Upon arrival, officers found one unit fully engulfed and the fire began to spread to a neighboring unit. A resident advised responding officers that someone was unable to escape the home. Fire crews arrived, immediately began suppression efforts, and located one victim inside the home. The victim sustained critical injuries and was transported to the hospital.
