834 residents have been displaced<\/a> following the devastating fire. It\u2019s still unknown how many units were damaged, and the residents are still waiting to find out when they\u2019ll be allowed back into their homes.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe official cause of the fire remains unknown.<\/p>\n
Fort Worth Resident Rescues Dog <\/p>\n
Cooper Apartment resident Eli Acevelo\u2019s dog, Ollie, was trapped in the burning building when residents were told to evacuate. On Tuesday, Ollie was home alone when fire broke out.<\/p>\n
What they’re saying:<\/p>\n
“I came home early from work. I got here around 2 p.m., but the fire was already, I guess up there, already started. I waited half an hour to see if someone would let me in, or someone could grab him. Nobody did. I waited another half hour; still no news.”<\/p>\n
Finally, Avacelo decided to risk sneaking into a side entrance himself to rescue the animal.<\/p>\n
“After an hour from when I got here, I just ran and I grabbed him. I ran through the smoke, I had to.”<\/p>\n
Eli admits it was a risk, taking matters into his own hands.<\/p>\n
“It was a little scary, I’m not gonna lie. They told us the fire was on the roof, but when I ran in, there was a lot of smoke,” Acevelo said. “I tried looking under the couch, because that\u2019s where he usually hangs out. He wasn\u2019t there, but he was kind of shaking by the bed. I just grabbed him, grabbed the leash.”<\/p>\n
Eli has spent nights with a couple of different friends and is still figuring out where to live. He says he\u2019s making the best of things, and helps just to know that Ollie is safe.<\/p>\n
“He\u2019s with my mom. My mom is going to take care of him for now until I get a place and settle down.”<\/p>\n
What’s next:<\/p>\n
A donation giveaway on Friday comes three days after a determined electrical fire started at the Cooper complex, in spaces just beneath roofing material, which made it extremely difficult to reach and fully extinguish.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some residents are making lists of crucial items in their apartments, like passports and medicine that recovery workers went to retrieve for them.<\/p>\n
Sarah Turner, with the Fort Worth Apartments Association, explained the situation.<\/p>\n
“The residents aren\u2019t allowed in right now. That’s not the owners or managers; it\u2019s the city to protect everybody. So there\u2019s only a handful of people that are allowed into the construction site because they also have to know how many people are in and out to make sure that everyone\u2019s accounted for.”<\/p>\n
