A Dallas apartment fire early Friday morning displaced 24 residents and led to an arson arrest, according to Dallas Fire-Rescue.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Firefighters were called around 12:27 a.m. to the Buena Vista Apartments in the 3900 block of Altoona Drive. Crews found heavy fire coming from the front and side of the two-story building and battled the flames for nearly two hours before extinguishing them at 1:55 a.m.<\/p>\n
Four apartment units sustained moderate to significant damage. The displaced residents include 13 adults and 11 children. The American Red Cross was contacted to help with their needs.<\/p>\n
DFR investigators said the fire was started by a man in his mid-30s following a domestic dispute. Everyone escaped safely, but the man suffered non-life-threatening upper-body injuries. He was treated at a hospital and arrested.<\/p>\n
He was later charged with arson and booked into the Lew Sterrett Justice Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Dallas apartment fire early Friday morning displaced 24 residents and led to an arson arrest, according to…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1000547,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,8339,4219,1596,44446,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-1000546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-america","tag-arson","tag-crime","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-fire-rescue","tag-texas","tag-tx","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117094704680494921","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1000546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1000546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1000546\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1000547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1000546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1000546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1000546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
