Twenty adults and six children were displaced in Prince George’s County after their apartment building caught fire early Friday morning.

Firefighters said they rescued several people from the third-story of the building in the 2500 block of Queens Chapel Road in Hyattsville. No injuries were reported.

Officials said a smoke alarm alerted residents of the fire. Marc Bashoor, the county’s fire chief, said in a Twitter message “safe 2day because of that alarm.”

Those who were displaced are being helped by the Red Cross, officials said.
