ROSSFORD, Ohio — Multiple fire and rescue departments responded to the scene of a fire at a Rossford apartment complex Friday afternoon.

The call came in around 1 p.m. Friday. The fire appeared to have heavily damaged units at one of the three-story River Ridge Apartments buildings.

Smoke was seen from a window in a basement apartment during routine rounds by a maintenance worker at the complex which led to the call, according to Rossford Fire Chief Josh Drouard. It is unclear how the fire may have started.

Crews rescued two people from the building, according to responding fire departments. Both people were evaluated and released at the scene.

No other injuries have been reported, Drouard said.

Crews with fire and rescue departments from Rossford, Northwood, Lake Township, Perrysburg Township and Perrysburg responded to the call, along with multiple ladder trucks and engines.
