Firefighters battled a blaze at a large condominium building in the Rosslyn area Monday morning.
Smoke was reported around 10 a.m. at the Atrium Condominium at 1530 Key Blvd. Initial reports suggest that some sort of fire in the parking garage spread smoke to parts of the building.
Photos from the scene showed dark smoke coming from the garage entrance. A second alarm was dispatched to the scene just before 10:45 a.m.
Firefighters from Arlington and other jurisdictions worked to locate and extinguish the fire and ventilate smoke from the structure. As of 11 a.m. the source was identified as a vehicle fire in the parking garage.
“Fire has been extinguished and crews are in the process of smoke removal,” ACFD said. “Crews will remain on scene for an undetermined amount of time.”
Just before noon most fire department units were leaving or preparing to leave, though fire investigators remained on scene.
