Crews initiated a fast attack on the fire and were able to knock it down, however there was a delay initially due to hydrants being slightly far away.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire is unknown and arson investigators were at the scene.<\/p>\n
Officials do not have the specific number of residents who are now displaced due to the 12 affected units.<\/p>\n
Chief Sky-Eagle did not specify the injuries to the firefighters.<\/p>\n
