At approximately 10:41 a.m., the Champaign Fire Department responded to a fire in the 2100 block of W White St. Crews are currently on scene working to extinguish any remaining hot spots.

Firefighters responded to multiple reports of a fire in this three-story apartment building. After arriving on scene, firefighters reported heavy fire coming from the third floor and extending into the attic.
