A two-alarm fire displaced many residents after a Friday afternoon fire at the Regency Place Apartments in West Raleigh.
Just after 3 p.m., Raleigh and Cary fire departments responded to the fire located at St. Regis Circle. With the help of 60 firefighters, the fire was under control in an hour and 45 minutes.
Fierce flames were seen shooting from the roof of one of the buildings, destroying 12 units at the complex. Kellee Meiners just moved into her apartment two weeks ago. Since moving in, she has been working from home due to the stay-at-home order put in place by the Governor due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Meiners said the fire started at the ground level.
