ALPENA — After a structure fire on 2nd Avenue on Sunday, two tenants were transported to MyMichigan Medical Center Alpena for further evaluation as a precaution. No injuries were reported, Fire Chief Rob Edmonds said in a press release.

The Alpena Fire Department was requested to 2nd Avenue at approximately 4:49 p.m. Sunday afternoon.

Upon arrival, crews found a two-story residential structure with visible flames coming from the window of a second-story apartment.

The fire was rapidly extinguished and under control by seven on-duty personnel and confined to the room of origin.
