Apartment Complex Fire Displaces Nearly 200 Residents

"The alarm went off. I opened the door to check and found there was smoke.” Nearly 200 people were forced to evacuate an eight story high rise after a fire erupted in a top floor apartment. Now all wondering when they will be able to go back home. It’s a story we’ve been following closely since the news broke Monday night. It took four fire departments to put the fire out, with crews escorting tenants out and others rescuing people from balconies. The apartment fire started around 7 Monday night at the Green Hill Apartments in Midland on East Lawn Drive. Disaster relief crews and several fire departments worked quickly to escort everyone out with only what they could carry.
