\nMore than a dozen people have been displaced after a large fire at a Jeffersontown apartment complex on Monday.<\/p>\n
Crews with Fern Creek Fire & EMS and the Jeffersontown Fire Department were dispatched to the 9000 block of Michael Edward Drive around 9:45 a.m.<\/p>\n
When crews arrived on scene, they saw heavy fire coming out of the second and third floor windows of a 3-story apartment complex.<\/p>\n
Officials said five people had to be rescued from the burning building.<\/p>\n
Three people, including two firefighters, were also transported to nearby hospitals for injuries. All three were expected to survive.<\/p>\n
It took roughly 25 firefighters about 30 minutes to control the fire.<\/p>\n
Three units in the building suffered heavy damage and several other apartments suffered moderate water and smoke damage.<\/p>\n
Roughly 15 people were displaced or affected by the fire, and the American Red Cross is assisting them with temporary shelter.<\/p>\n
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
