Officials say thanks to the actions of neighbors, who alerted the building’s occupants, all were safely evacuated from the structure. No injuries were reported. The fire did extensive damage and the structure was determined to be unsafe to occupy by the Building Official. 

The American Red Cross is assisting the eight adults who were displaced from the building.
