FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The Fresno Fire Department is responding to an apartment fire in Southeast Fresno.

Officials say that seven units were heavily damaged in the fire and seven families have been displaced. Thankfully, nobody was injured and everyone is accounted for.


The fire broke out around 8:30 pm Monday night near E Beck Avenue and S Argyle Avenue.

Fire investigators believe that there may have been a delay in calling 911 because by the time firefighters arrived, the apartments had widespread fire and several empty fire extinguishers were found nearby.
