The Red Cross is helping 13 residents, including eight children from three families, who were affected by the blaze, Davis said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, but Davis said it’s believed it started in the kitchen of one of the apartments.
Davis said a smoke detector alerted residents to the fire.
