Charred mattresses and suitcases are just some of the items in front of the building after a two-alarm fire broke out just before 10:30 a.m. Friday. It took firefighters over an hour to get the flames under control.
Police say 12 people in total were injured – including nine civilians and three firefighters. They range in age from 19 to 21.
News 12 was told the Red Cross is now assisting those impacted with financial help.
