Modesto Fire Department - Three-alarm fire at an apartment complex
IA: 5:52 am - Multi-unit residential structure fire, Smoke showing, Evacuations underway
Location: Greenbriar Apartments, 2200 Coffee Road in Modesto
Resources: Seven engines, two trucks and 27 firefighters responded. The Red Cross is on scene, helping to arrange shelter.
Damages: Multiple apartments were destroyed or heavily damaged - 40 people homeless.
Sixteen apartments were affected — clustered in units of eight, four and four. They share a common breezeway and attic, Patino said, which likely allowed the fire to spread. The eight-unit cluster suffered the worst of the fire damage, while the others had a combination of fire and water damage. .
Injuries: One resident jumped from his second-floor apartment and suffered a sprained wrist, Patino said. There were no other reports of injuries to residents or firefighters.
