According to Edgewood Assistant Fire Chief, Chris Amon, around 6 p.m. crews were dispatched to a condominium fire at the Grandview Summit complex on Tuscany Valley Court.
Once firefighters arrived, they saw heavy fire and smoke coming from the building.
Crews were able to evacuate the building and get all occupants out of the building without injuries, Amon said.
Amon said two firefighters were sent to the hospital for minor injuries.
Witnesses who called 911 said they saw the flames from the balcony.
"I was just so shocked. There were kids crying with their parents and you just wish you could do something for them," said witness Melissa Weigle.
Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire but remain on scene to put out hot spots.
The Red Cross said 12 units were displaced by the fire.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
