One man is in custody for allegedly setting the fire.
Several people were displaced.
They arrested the person living in that unit for starting the fire. He walked out with two knives in his hands and police had to use non lethal bean bag ammunition to take him down.
I used to live in these apartments years and years ago. Back then they were the cheapest apartments in claycord not counting little Mexico aka monument
