Several Homeless After Apartment Fire

May 27, 2014

A four-family apartment complex was heavily damaged by fire late Monday night on Tumbleweed Trail at the Fowler Place Apartments, leaving at least seven adults and a teenager homeless.

The fire in the 700 block of Tumbleweed Trail, just south of Nine Mile Road off Fowler Avenue, was reported just before midnight.  One person reportedly suffered from smoke inhalation. There were no other injuries reported.

The American Red Cross was called to assist residents displaced by the fire.

The exact cause of the blaze is under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office.
