Update: Family disturbance leads to fire, arrest at University Village in Albany

BERKELEY -- A fire erupted late Monday morning at the UC Berkeley University Village housing complex, forcing residents to flee from four buildings and triggering a major response from Berkeley firefighters.

The UC Berkeley WarnMe system sent out a warning at 11:35 a.m. 

"Fire reported at University Village Albany 755 Ohlone Ave BLDG 104 105 106 107. Continue to stay out of the area," an updated warning read.

Officers met an adult and one child outside of their apartment, UC Police said. Both were treated for minor injuries by the Albany Fire Department. Police said a third person was still inside the apartment.  

While attempting to make contact with the person, police smelled smoke coming from the apartment and were concerned the person might be trapped inside, they said.  

Both the Albany and Berkeley Fire Departments responded to the possible fire and evacuated nearby units. Fire crews rescued the person in the apartment and discovered a fire and contained it to its room of origin, the spokesperson said.  

The rescued individual is being detained on suspicion of domestic violence battery, pending a medical evaluation, police said.  

The fire is currently under investigation.
