Anchorage Apartment Complex Blaze Kills 2, Injures 16

A pre-dawn fire that swept through an apartment complex in Alaska’s largest city and burned for hours killed at least two people and injured at least 16, authorities said Wednesday. Authorities warned that there could be more victims because they were still unable to thoroughly search four to five units in the complex seven hours after they put out the fire. "Until we have that opportunity, we don’t know if there’s going to be more victims or not," said Anchorage Deputy Fire Chief Jodie Hettrick.
