GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — One person was taken to the hospital after a fire at Lamberton Lake Apartments in Grand Rapids.

Fire crews responded to the apartment complex on the city's northeast side around 8:30 Tuesday evening.

"We arrived on scene, our first engine company could smell the smoke, had to force entry into an apartment, and found a victim on the bed, brought the victim out, rendered medical care," Battalion Chief Matt Keusch said.

The victim was alert and breathing when transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment.

A dog was also in the apartment at the time of the fire but was unharmed.
