BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Several neighbors are having to find a new place to stay after a big overnight fire tore through the roof of their apartment complex. I’m Kenya Cardonne, your Southeast Tallahassee neighborhood reporter. Residents tell me this was not the way they wanted to close out 2024.
An unfortunate start to a Saturday morning for residents of Brookwood Apartments.
Johnny Frasier, Resident – “I peeped out the window, I could tell there was something out of the ordinary that was going on. I heard a rumbling sound at the door, I opened the door and the firemen said get out.”
Tallahassee Fire Department says they arrived to find the roof of a two-story apartment complex engulfed in flames.
One resident tells me the overnight fire caught him by surprise, as he had just stepped out before it happened.
