Authorities said the fire was determined to have started in the garden area between several two-story buildings, but to ensure that the blaze didn’t extend into apartments, crews opened up outer walls and the roof as a precaution.

Because of that, one unit is unsuitable for tenants, authorities said.

Representatives from the Red Cross were contacted about providing temporary housing assistance, authorities said.
