Fire Forces Residents To Evacuate Apartments
Investigators are trying to determine what caused a fire at an apartment on Hill Rise Drive, the 15th to break out in that area since December.
The latest fire started late Tuesday evening in a vacant apartment at 1701 Hill Rise Drive.
Firefighters believe the fire started in the doorway of the apartment.
It was knocked down before it spread to other parts of the building.
Officials said no one was injured but at least six residents were told they could not return to their apartments overnight because of smoke.
Two weeks ago, six fires were set within a 12-hour period on or near Hill Rise Drive.
A suspect has been arrested in those cases.
Several arsons also broke out in that area between last December and January.
Most of the fires were in cars, dumpsters and sheds and remain unsolved.
Fire investigators have not said whether this latest fire was intentionally set.
