WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP (WWJ) A fire ripped through an apartment complex in Washington Township, the Macomb County Sheriff's Office said.

WWJ's Mike Campbell described a portion of the 204-unit apartment complex as "pretty much shot."

"One of those set of four in each unit has completely burned, gutted from from the inside out," Campbell reported. "It's brick, so the outside stands, but the roof is gone. You can see right through the interior. Nothing left on the inside."

The fire attacked two of the buildings, each with four units. Of those eight units, four were a total loss.
