$364K In Fire Damage To Memphis Apartment Complex

One person is dead after a fire broke out at a Memphis apartment complex. The fire broke out at Whispering Pines Apartments on Dwight Road just after 1 a.m. By the time Memphis Fire Department was able to get to the fire, it had badly damaged the second floor of the apartment complex. Firefighters tried to get inside but couldn’t. "It was just blazing, people were running and trying to get their kids situated. It was just chaotic," Ronnie Ware said. Fire crews took nearly an hour to get the fire under control before they could get inside and search the apartments.
