BRADENTON (SNN)– Several people have been displaced from their homes after suffering serious injuries from an overnight fire at a Bradenton apartment complex.
According to Cedar Hammock Fire Rescue, the fire broke out just before midnight Saturday at the Aaron Lake Apartment Complex on 43rd Ave West in Bradenton. Firefighters and police didn’t clear out until about 7 a.m. Sunday morning.
In addition to getting the six people out of the building, fire crews said they rescued multiple animals including several puppies, two dogs, and three cats.
A total of 14 fire emergency vehicles responded to the fire, including ladder trucks and ambulances.
The state fire marshall has now taken charge of the investigation and is working to figure out what ignited that fire in the attic of the 16-unit apartment complex.
