BRANDON, Fla. — Hillsborough County Fire Rescue battled a 3-alarm apartment fire in Brandon on Sunday (April 28).
According to Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, 911 calls came in just before 3 p.m. from several callers stating that there was a large fire through the roof of a two-story apartment on Red Maple Place.
Crews were met with a heavy fire through the roof that was quickly spreading through the attic of attached units. A huge plume of black smoke could be seen from a distance.
An aerial operation was eventually set up to help fight the flames from above.
No one was found inside the apartments, and there have been no reported injuries.
Lashelle Liptrot's Nissan Murano is more than a mode of transportation. It's been the shelter keeping her and her children safe. She's part of the countless number of people now homeless because of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
