PHOTOS: Crews were on the scene of a fire that broke out at an apartment building in Hagerstown Thursday night.
The Hagerstown Fire Department said the fire at 673 Oak Hill Ave. started around 6:30 p.m.
“The firefighters went up to the top and then the flames started shooting out so they came down as quick as they could,” neighbor Edye Brockett, said.
Flames poured through the roof of the apartment building.
Neighbor Julianna, who did not want to give her last name, was watching crews try to put out the fire.
“The two windows that are getting sprayed right now just got completely overflown by fire and two firemen hopped on top to try to get it down,” she said. “But when they did that … it just blew up in flames.”
As of just after 2 a.m. on Friday, officials said crews had cleared the scene.
