THREE FAMILIES DISPLACED BY APARTMENT FIRE

(Connersville, IN)--Fire did heavy damage to a multi-unit Connersville apartment early Sunday morning.  It broke out at five minutes after midnight Sunday at a building in the 800 block of Western Avenue.  Flames were showing from an upstairs apartment window.  A second alarm was immediately requested because a ladder truck was being repaired.  Multiple agencies responded and were able to contain the fire to an upstairs area.  All residents were able to make it out on their own without injury.  Firefighters were on the scene for four hours.  The Red Cross has been helping three displaced families with basic needs.  There is no word yet on what caused the fire.
