The Davis Fire Department received a call from a passerby shortly before 8:15 a.m., Battalion Chief Matt Galloway said. When crews arrived, a fire was ablaze in a bedroom at the Owendale Mutual Housing Community on the 3000 block of Albany Avenue.
Firefighters contained the fire to the room, Galloway said, and it did not spread to other units. Galloway said the fire was under control “within minutes.”
