No one was hurt, although one person did have to be treated for smoke inhalation. Residents are now just doing their best to move forward.
We did manage to catch up with a witness Friday night, and this is what she had to say.
"It started around 8 o'clock, I was with my little brothers and sisters, and my little brother said there were some kids in the back playing with fire, so they took a lot of stuff and just burned it, from the basement floor. And then all the fire went up, it looked like a hot grill in there, it just kept going up and up, I could see the flames and everything, I just had to leave with the kids."
