Investigators have ruled the fire at Autumn Ridge Apartments an accident. Buena Vista Deputy Fire Chief Aaron Hoeppner said a resident on the first floor was burning incense or sage when she realized a fire had started. The woman grabbed her child and left the building. To try and alert other residents the woman got in her car and drove around the building honking her horn. While driving around the building the woman hit the building, a fence and a Buena Vista Police Department Patrol car, Hoeppner said. The woman was taken to the hospital and treated for injuries from crashing her vehicle.
