(Updated at 1 p.m.) Arlington County firefighters battled a fire in an apartment building on Lee Highway today (Tuesday) and rescued a dog in the process.
The fire was reported just after noon on the third floor — the top floor — of the apartments at 4356 Lee Highway, just east of the Lee Heights Shops in the Waverly Hills neighborhood.
The fire was on a balcony in the rear of the building, according to scanner reports, and had also spread to the ceiling of the units below.
As of 12:25 p.m., the fire department reported that the fire was out. No injuries were reported, though a dog was rescued from one of the apartments.
County road crews were called in after the fire was out to spread salt on portions of the roadway that had been drenched with water from the firefighting effort.
