The occupants were being allowed back into their apartments as electricity was being restored to the unaffected apartments.

As a result of the fire on Thursday there was damage to approximately 6 to 8 apartments in the building. No one was injured, but the building was uninhabitable due to the lack of a fire suppression system after the fire on Thursday.
