Ten firefighters received minor injuries and were taken to the hospital for treatment. All building residents were evacuated safely, but 12 families were displaced due to the fire.
The fire was declared under control at 11:31 p.m., Wednesday night, but firefighters were still putting out hot spots on Thursday morning.
