Eighteen units in the apartment complex were damaged by the fire. Fire officials said it was tough getting water on the fire because the apartment complex is located on a “private” water supply, which was not enough to douse the fire.

NFD members had to “daisy-chain” their engines together from a hydrant at the bottom of the hill to achieve an adequate water supply.

As of 5:00 a.m. Tuesday morning, NFD crews have shut off the natural gas supply to the complex with help from Piedmont.
