SOUTH BLOOMING GROVE – About 25 residents in at least 10 apartments in an apartment complex at 33 Tanager Road in the Village of South Blooming Grove were left homeless Sunday afternoon when fire ripped through the three-story building.
Bright orange flames shot through the roof of the building in at least two locations as firefighters from several area departments fought the three-alarm blaze from aerial ladder trucks.
The Goshen Senior Center at 100 Trotter Circle in Goshen provided temporary shelter for the displaced residents with a warm and safe place to rest with food and water available. It will remain open for the foreseeable future.
In the coming days, Red Cross staff and volunteers will remain available to help those affected by the fire.
The cause is under investigation; however, one social media post said it started as a kitchen fire.
There were no reports of injuries as of late Sunday night.
