A four-unit apartment building burned down in east Fort Worth early Wednesday morning, according to the Fort Worth Fire Department. No one was hurt.

Around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, fire crews were dispatched to the structure on fire in the 600 block of Tierney Road.

When crews arrived, they saw heavy fire coming from a two-story quadplex.

“They made an aggressive interior attack and searched the building to make sure that no one was inside,” said the fire department in a Facebook post. Once the all clear was given, crews moved operations outside to fight the fire because of the “compromised condition” of the structure.

It took firefighters around an hour and a half to bring the fire under control.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
