The residents of the apartment that caught fire were not home at the time, and the occupants of the other seven units evacuated safely.The apartment where the fire started was declared a total loss, while three adjacent apartments sustained smoke and water damage and were deemed uninhabitable until repairs can be made.
Residents were able to return to the four remaining apartments, which were untouched because the building was constructed with a fire separation wall, according to fire officials. The building was not equipped with sprinklers or monitored fire alarm system, firefighters said. Fire officials said the American Red Cross is working with the displaced residents and Skyridge Club management to find them shelter.
