Apartment scare
Apartment-fireWEB
A McMinnville firefighter climbs a ladder to knock a hole in an outside wall at Hearthwood Apartments to battle a fire that started in a dryer vent.
Patsy Hobbs is glad she saw someone staring at her apartment Monday afternoon. When she stepped outside, she noticed the building was on fire.“She was just standing there looking at my apartment so I wanted to see what was up,” said Hobbs. “I came out and there it was.”A bird’s nest built in a dryer vent is believed to be responsible for causing a small fire inside the wall at Hearthwood Apartments where Hobbs lives.
