A 2-alarm fire at the 1505 Exchange Apartments in Fort Worth left two people in need of treatment for smoke inhalation Tuesday morning.

It began around 10:30 a.m. on February 1 within the 1700 block of Homedale Drive.

The blaze consumed the first and second floors of the apartment building and had traveled to the attic when firefighters arrived.

Two units in the building suffered “heavy damage,” and two others received moderate damage.

No other injuries were reported.
