Tucson Fire: 1 person injured in two-alarm fire.
One person was injured Wednesday in a two-alarm fire at a Tucson commercial building, officials say.
The fire was reported about 5:15 p.m. at a building on East Sixth Street near North Sixth Avenue, the Tucson Fire Department said.
Firefighters found smoke coming from several units in a large, two-story building, according to a TFD Facebook post.
A bystander alerted firefighters that someone might be inside a unit where sprinklers had activated.
Firefighters forced entry through an iron door and used a thermal imaging camera to locate the person, who was taken to a hospital.
A second alarm was called to bring additional personnel, and the fire was brought under control at 6:02 p.m., the department said.
No other injuries were reported.
The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
