News Center 7 got the 911 call that led firefighters to the apartment.

“There’s people that live in there, I think they are locked in their house,” a caller told dispatchers.

The dispatcher asked the man why they think people were inside.

“I can hear them,” the caller said.

Upon arrival, firefighters saw heavy fire conditions coming from a three-story apartment building, Dayton Fire Assistant Chief Brad French said.

Crews quickly searched the building looking for anyone trapped and began fighting the fire with hose lines.
