16 people were displaced, including 9 kids. One pet was also displaced. No one was injured and they are being assisted by American Red Cross.
Squatters were seen leaving the scene as firefighters arrived, but the fire department is stopping short of blaming them for the fire at this time.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
