Before crews arrived, one resident tried extinguishing the flames using multiple fire extinguishers, but the fire had grown too large for their efforts to be effective.

Multiple rooms sustained fire, smoke and water damage. 

The American Red Cross was called to help those who were displaced and provide shelter. 

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

This is a developing story.
