The Pine Bluff Fire and Emergency Services Department fought a blaze at a single story apartment located behind an apartment complex at West Harding and Olive Street on Wednesday evening. No one was home at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported, a fire department spokesman said.
At the scene, firefighters worked on the blaze at the apartment of Leandrew Tolbert, he said. A fire was reportedly discovered by a neighbor, Jasmine Hughes, who said said she “heard a noise in the wall and then a boom” and the lights went out. Tolbert was at work when he found out about the fire, he said.
