FORT WORTH, Texas — Firefighters responded to a two-alarm fire at a two-story apartment complex in Fort Worth Monday afternoon.

Crews were called to the Quail Ridge Apartments in the 4500 block of Brentwood Stair Road near I-30 in Fort Worth shortly before 1 p.m. on Tuesday, logs show.

Fire crews arrived to find heavy smoke coming from the first floor of a building and rescued two dogs from the bottom floor, according to the Fort Worth Fire Department. 

"The fire grew and a second alarm was called giving the crews on scene additional resources," according to the Fort Worth Fire Department.
