A fire broke out Thursday at an apartment complex on Jacksonville’s Northside, displacing dozens of people, officials said.
According to the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, the fire was reported around 3:20 p.m. at the Island Pointe Apartments.
JFRD said crews had a tough time fighting the fire, as the weather, including the wind from Nicole, was a factor that they were dealing with. Plus, earlier, the complex was flooded.There were nearly 100 firefighters who responded to the incident. As of around 5:40 p.m., JFRD had pulled all firefighters out of the building and was using ladder hoses to fight the blaze. In the end, it took close to four hours to contain the fire.
“It was one of the closer buildings, but thankful for me I’m OK, but we’re obviously worried about my housemates and whoever is in there,” Loukinanov said.
