A fire erupted at a four-unit apartment complex in Anaheim on Friday, but all residents escaped and firefighters were able to rescue a dog. The blaze erupted near Clemintine and Santa Ana streets at about 7 p.m. When firefighters arrived, they encountered heavy smoke coming from the 3-alarm fire. Crews were able to knock down the fire in two hours, according to Anaheim Police Sgt. Shane Carringer. Video shows firefighters rescuing a family dog that was trapped in a second-floor unit. They were able to carry the dog down a ladder and it is expected to be fine. One firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion and was expected to be OK.
