TUCSON (KVOA) – Three people were transported to hospital on the south side of Tucson after an apartment fire on Wednesday morning.

The crews were dispatched to the complex near Valencia Road and Twelve Avenue just before 5 a.m.

The Tucson Fire Department says the crews rescued a person who was trapped in the apartment.

One person remains in critical condition and the other two are stable, TFD said on Wednesday afternoon.

“Local residents helped crews by putting up a ladder to allow victims to escape when their main exit was cut off, as seen in the third photo,” TFD said.

The Southern Arizona Red Cross says it is working with 15 residents to see if they need help.
