HOLLAND, Mich. — Ten residents have been displaced following an apartment fire in Holland Friday afternoon.
Fire crews say the fire started before 4 p.m. We’re told all occupants, including three cats, all made it out of the building safely.
The fire is not considered suspicious. The cause remains under investigation.
A windy day in Holland gave way for a fire to consume an apartment complex on 16th Street on Friday.
“I got home from work tonight and smelled fire burning and the next thing the whole… The place is engulfed in flames,” says resident Chris Trudeau.
The call came in just before 4 p.m.
Holland fire officials told FOX 17 eight people were home when the fire started.
Now investigators are looking into the cause and pointing toward strong winds as the reason behind why the fire grew as quickly as it did.
Not much is left. For Chris Trudeau, he’s going to look and see what is salvageable.
“The front apartments got damaged and ours somewhat got saved,” Trudeau says.
The fire is not considered suspicious. The cause remains under investigation.
We're told a firefighter sustained minor injuries while responding to the fire. Officials say the fire dealt significant damage to the structure.
