No injuries were reported.

The fire at Oak Hill Apartments in the 2400 block of South Holland-Sylvania Road was initially reported at 12:58 a.m.

At 1:22 a.m., the fire was upgraded to a second alarm, meaning additional fire crews and engines were dispatched. Firefighters had the fire under control by 1:36 a.m., a Toledo fire dispatcher said.

The fire damaged several apartments. The exact cause of the fire and a damage estimate were not available Wednesday morning.
