Multiple agencies responded to an apartment fire in Wellman Friday night.
Washington County dispatch records indicate Wellman firefighters were initially called to a residence on 3rd Street just before 7:15pm. A caller reported seeing fire coming from inside the apartment as they were driving by. The same caller told 9-1-1 that the resident then came outside and said it was a grease fire on the stove.
Kalona and Riverside fire were initially dispatched for mutual aid, although the crew from Riverside was eventually told to disregard.
No damage estimate has been released, and no injuries were reported. The Red Cross has been notified.
