One person was seriously injured and residents were displaced after a fire broke out at a Canton apartment complex Sunday morning, according to the Canton Fire Department.
Just before 7:30 a.m., Canton Fire was dispatched to the multi-unit apartment complex located on 11th Street NW and was met with fire extending across the roof line and residents trapped inside, Canton Fire said.
One man jumped from a third-story window and sustained serious injuries, Canton Fire said. Two other residents were rescued from a third-story window and were treated for smoke inhalation on the scene.
A fourth man was found and removed without injury while Canton Fire searched the building, the department said.
The Red Cross and the Refuge of Hope were called to assist residents.
On Monday, the building was demolished due to the damage caused by the fire. Additionally, an adjacent building that shares utilities is currently unoccupiable due to flooding in a mechanical tunnel that connects them.
