The fire had already engulfed the side of the apartment building and an entrance to two units. Brett said the fire had also reached a home next door to the apartment building.

Crews were able to quickly knock down the flames at the neighboring property and limited damage to the home's exterior. Firefighters also knocked down the fire with minimal damage in two apartment units. The fire damage was not heavy, but the smoke impact to three other units forced the residents to seek housing assistance from Red Cross.
