CSFD captain Stuart Marrs said a woman who jumped out of a second floor window was treated for minor injuries at the scene.
A total of 12 units from College Station and Bryan responded to the two alarm fire.
Members of CSFD’s volunteer rehab team helped cool down firefighters who were in full gear with outdoor temperatures in the upper 80’s and low 90’s. And Marrs thanked the Brazos Transit District for providing a shuttle bus that was air conditioned for firefighters taking a break.
