Long Beach Apartment Fire Displaces 3

A non-injury apartment fire in Long Beach displaced five people Sunday, authorities said.

The fire in the 300 block of West Fourth Street was reported around 2 p.m. and knocked down soon after, said Matt Dobberpuhl of the Long Beach Fire Department.

Smoke was pouring from a second-floor window when units arrived, he said.

Firefighters contained the fire to the unit of origin, but three first-floor apartments sustained water damage, Dobberpuhl said.

The American Red Cross was summoned to assist the displaced residents, he said.
