The cause of a fire that destroyed two units at a 21-unit apartment building last Monday has been declared undetermined according to the Bowling Green Fire Division.
Bowling Green firefighters were called to Foxwood Manor Apartments on 7th Street and South College Avenue after a resident who smelled smoke alerted them to the blaze.
Because a majority of the residents living in the three-story, wooden-framed complex were students, many of the units were uninhabitated at the time of the fire due to winter break, Bowling Green Fire Capt. Tom Sanderson said.
However, the 12 people who were in the building at the time of the fire were able to escape unharmed, Sanderson said.
Although the monetary value of the damage has not been disclosed, Mecca Management Leasing Agent Carrie Williams said estimations are being considered.
Williams said insurance companies are working on reaching totals, and repair work should be started as soon as possible.
