VIDEO: More than 50 firefighters worked to put out a large two-alarm fire at a north Charlotte apartment complex early Thursday. Fire officials told Channel 9 a crew returning from a medical call actually spotted the flames just after 4:30 a.m. at the Hunters Pointe Apartments off Prospect Drive, near Interstate 85, in the Hidden Valley neighborhood. When they arrived at the scene, fire crews reported heavy flames and smoke coming from one of the buildings, which was fully involved. Channel 9 crews could see a building engulfed in flames as the fire raged. Pine trees near the building also caught fire. Officials said there was one person in the apartment but they were able to make it out safely. No injuries have been reported but dozens of families have been affected.
