No one was hurt Wednesday in a minor Beck Street structural fire.

Capt. Jon Swaggert of the Hodder Avenue Fire Station said it wasn’t too serious, though he couldn’t confirm whether or not residents were inside when the call came in.

“It was a minor fire in the structure here. There were no injuries. We’ve basically got this in hand. We’ve got to check a few things out and we’ll know more to tell you later.”

Five trucks and 23 crew were on hand to get the fire under control.
