University City Apartment Fire Damages 4 Units Displaces Occupants
Charlotte NC - An apartment fire near the campus of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte damaged 4 units and displaced a number of occupants on November 13, 2011.
Firefighters responded to multiple reports of a structure fire at 8934 University City Boulevard at 7:18 PM. They arrived just a few minutes later to find heavy smoke and fire emitting from a first floor unit of a large two-story apartment building.
Acting on a report of a person being trapped, crews sprinted into action initiating a hasty search and mounting an aggressive fire attack. After a thorough search of the structure, no one was found. The well-coordinated efforts of 48 Charlotte Firefighters resulted in the knockdown of the flames and the incident being brought under control in 32 minutes.
Fire Investigators determined the cause of the fire to be accidental. There were no injuries associated with this incident. The American Red Cross was summoned to the scene and assisted displaced residents.
