NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) - Norfolk firefighters battled a fire in a utility room on the fifth floor of an apartment complex Sunday.

Crews were called to the Royal Mace apartments around 11:25 a.m. for reports of a compactor on fire in a fifth floor utility closet.

Firefighters arrived on the scene to find smoke coming from the fifth floor of the north tower of the apartment complex, according to a fire department spokesman.
