Fire displaces residents at Greencastle apartment complex

A small fire Wednesday night at Greencastle's at 418 East Washington St., resulted in at least five people being displaced, according to fire officials. 

 

The Greencastle Fire Department, as well as the Cloverdale Volunteer Fire Department, arrived and located a fire in a second floor bedroom of an apartment, according to Rob Frank, assistant fire chief of the Greencastle Fire Department. 

 

"The residents thought they had it extinguished when they called us, but didn't realize the fire was in the bedroom. There was enough damage done that everyone that lived in the two apartments was displaced," Frank told The Putnam County Post. 

 

Frank said the cause of the fire is unknown at this time, but that officials believe it to be accidental or unintentional. 

 

The American Red Cross is helping those displaced.
