While crews were on scene in Huntington Hills, a second fire was reported on the 7000 block of Ranchero Road N.W.

Arriving crews discovered a fire in a multi-family occupancy and were able to quickly bring it under control. The fire damaged the outside of the building and breached the building through a second storey window.
