Apartment Fire

Athens-Clarke County Fire Department responded to a fire in Windfair apartments on the east side of Athens Thursday night where, according to Captain Mary Smith, no one was injuried.

When firefighters arrived on the complex, “flames were bursting through the roof and residents were gathered outside on the sidewalk,” says Smith.

Although, they do not suspect foul play an investigation will continue.

Thomas Jones, a three year Windfair resident, says without renters insurance he is not sure what he will do next.

Jones is one of twenty-five residents who lost almost everything in the fire and will be displaced.
