July 03--Fourteen people were displaced and one person was injured when fire erupted at an apartment complex near Barstow and Minnewawa avenues in Clovis early Wednesday morning.
Clovis Fire Department spokesman Chad Fitzgerald said the blaze was reported at 1:23 a.m. and about 50 firefighters responded to the fire. Clovis firefighters were assisted by Fresno firefighters and Fresno County Fire.
The injury was non-life threatening. Damage was estimated to be $1 million.
The fire spread quickly because the apartments shared a common attic.
Fresno Bee reader Denise Byrns shared photos of the raging fire on The Bee's Facebook page.
