VIDEO: A fire damaged part of an apartment complex in Avon over the weekend and the cause is under investigation. Firefighters responded to a report of an exterior fire on Avonwood Road around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday. Large flames and thick black smoke could be seen coming from a porch at one of the apartments on the building. “They're porches that are built into the building so it seemed to be on a porch area, but it got up into the roof area of that one apartment on the third floor. So it's a void between the third floor and the roof. It's a flat roof. And it got into that void space and it started running the void space," said Avon Volunteer Fire Department Chief Bruce Appell. The location of the fire created challenges for the firefighters.
