The fire damage was contained to the kitchen area in the unit of origin.

According to Acting Captain Randy Shaw, a total of five occupants were displaced. Those who did not have a place to go were assisted by the Red Cross.

At this time, the cause of the fire is unknown. MFRD’s Fire Marshal’s Office was called to conduct a routine investigation.  Robert Rickman, WGNS news.
