February 19, 2020 Firefighters later corrected their initial tweet to say it was a four-story apartment building. Crews arrived to find flames shooting out of a fourth-floor apartment window, where it's believed the fire originated.
Flames were extinguished within a couple of hours and a Metro Transit bus was brought to the scene to help people stay warm.
It's unclear what caused the fire.
