(West Chester)--Two people were injured in an early morning apartment fire in West Chester. Township spokesperson Barbara Wilson says dispatchers started getting calls about a fire at the Union Station Apartments around 12:17am. When first responders arrived on the scene, they encountered flames and smoke coming from all three floors, as well as the attic. Fire Chief Rick Prinz says it was very fortunate that everyone was able to get out of the building. One firefighter suffered from heat exposure, and one civilian was treated for smoke inhalation. Both were transported to the hospital, but are expected to be OK. Two dozen units were damaged by the fire. The Red Cross is assisting families displaced by the blaze. The Ohio Fire Marshal's Office is assisting West Chester fire investigators in trying to determine the cause.
