I had no idea what was going on. It happened so fast and the thing about it is, you know who wouldve thought?I reached out to TFD and the State Fire Marshals Office to get more information including the cause of the fire and whether anyone was injured, but I have yet to hear back.Saturday afternoon, residents were still scraping through their partially-exposed apartments to salvage what they could from the fire but some of them tell me they were left with..Felton - Nothing, basically.Frasier - At the time, I wasnt able to get out anything but me.
