I Witnessed a Major Apartment Fire in my Neighborhood

#1 Postby TexasStooge » Sat Apr 09, 2016 8:05 pm

As I was out doing my errands yesterday, I saw what looked like grayish & brown smoke at an apartment complex in my neighborhood. As I got closer to the scene, that was when I saw the fire escalate. It quickly grew to a 3-alarm situation as Dallas and Coppell Fire Departments joined Irving in battling the blaze. In the end, 40 units were damaged/destroyed and 80 residents there were displaced. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

Here's video that I shot of the incident as it happened.
