MIDVALE — An apartment complex caught fire Friday, according to the Unified Fire Authority, forcing the evacuation of 220 units.
Smoke was spotted above the North Union Apartments, at 942 E. North Union Avenue, at about 7:50 a.m. Building residents were evacuated, along with some pets. Many stood on surrounding street corners watching firefighters tackle the blaze.
“I’ve lived in this apartment complex for almost four years, and it has become my home. Seeing it being damaged like this is pretty scary,” said Carlos Flores, who lives on the complex’s fourth floor. “It feels bad. It feels horrible.”
