Person ‘significantly’ injured after apartment fire in Lyndon<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLOUISVILLE RESIDENT HAS THE CHANCE TO BUILD A STRONG FUTURE. RIGHT NOW, INVESTIGATORS ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SPARKED A MASSIVE FIRE AT AN APARTMENT BUILDING IN LINDEN. THE FIRE TORE THROUGH THE ROOF AND SENT ONE PERSON TO THE HOSPITAL. DEANDRIA TURNER WAS AT THE COOPER CREEK APARTMENTS AS CREWS BATTLED THE SMOKE AND FLAMES. SHE SHOWS US SOME OF THE DAMAGE. IT SHOWS YOU HOW DESTRUCTIVE AND HOW UNPREDICTABLE LIFE CAN BE. THICK SMOKE BILLOWING INTO THE AIR. A MASSIVE HOLE TORN THROUGH A CHARRED ROOF, AND DOZENS OF FIREFIGHTERS RACING TO KEEP THE FLAMES FROM SPREADING ANY FURTHER. MORE THAN 40 FIREFIGHTERS FROM ANCHORAGE, MIDDLETOWN, SAINT MATTHEWS AND JEFFERSONTOWN RESPONDED TO THIS FIRE AT BROOKSIDE APARTMENTS IN LINDEN THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THEY ATTACKED THE FLAMES FROM THE GROUND AND FROM ABOVE AS SMOKE POURED FROM THE BUILDING. I WAS IN MY APARTMENT TRYING TO TAKE A NAP AND I SMELLED SMOKE. IMMEDIATELY CAME OUTSIDE BECAUSE I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS BURNING AND ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS SAID, YES, SMOKE! GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT. HE SAYS ONCE HE GOT OUTSIDE, HE COULD SEE HOW SERIOUS THE FIRE WAS. IMMEDIATELY SAW A BIG PLUME OF SMOKE. FLAMES OVER ON THAT LEFT SIDE. THE FIRE BEGAN JUST BEFORE 4 P.M. ONE PERSON WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WITH WHAT ARE DESCRIBED AS SIGNIFICANT INJURIES. ONE FIREFIGHTER WAS TREATED AT THE SCENE FOR HEAT RELATED ISSUES AND RELEASED. OFFICIALS SAY THE FIRE WAS UNDER CONTROL WITHIN TWO HOURS. WHEN I WAS OUTSIDE, THEY WERE ALREADY HERE, SO IT WAS SUPER QUICK. SO IT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE AND I\u2019M SUPER GRATEFUL FOR THEM AND THEIR SERVICE TO US. AND FOR MANY RESIDENTS HERE, THIS JUST WASN\u2019T AN EMERGENCY SCENE. THIS IS WHERE THEY LIVED. AND NOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE DISPLACED BEFORE AT LEAST SOME RESIDENTS. THERE IS ALSO A SENSE OF PERSPECTIVE. WE\u2019RE JUST GRATEFUL THAT, YOU KNOW, MATERIAL THINGS CAN BE REPLACED, BUT PEOPLE CAN\u2019T. AN\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
