Auburn apartment complex evacuated after fire rips through building
Firefighters evacuated an entire apartment complex in Auburn after flames tore through a building Thursday morning.
Auburn Fire officials say first responders were called to the scene along High Street a little before 11 a.m. and found flames coming from the second floor of a two-story four-plex.
Two top units of the building suffered major damage, firefighters say, while two of the units below also had water and smoke damage.
Police say the entire complex had to be evacuated. Some surrounding buildings were also evacuated, police say. Everyone got out of the building, police say, but one person had their arm burned.
Firefighters say several residents were displaced by the fire, but no exact number was given. The Red Cross has been called in to help.
Officers shut down High Street during the emergency response.
Exactly what started the fire is now under investigation.
