It was a busy morning for ACFD, which also responded to a call for smoke that filled a one-story commercial building — reported by one witness to be the 7-Eleven store — in Virginia Square.
Electricity controlled, smoke disipating. Most units returning to service. Expect congestion in the area for next 30 minutes as remaining units finish investigation and smoke removal.
