Investigators are still trying to determine what caused the five-alarm fire that destroyed a West Philadelphia apartment building Monday afternoon. All of the residents who were at home escaped, but there were about 110 people left homeless as the fire engulfed the building over a period of five hours.
Although no one was seriously injured, one person was taken to the hospital for minor smoke inhalation. Fire crews could not locate the source of the fire last night, but were expected to continue investigating the cause. One resident said no fire alarms went off to warn him to get out of the apartment building.
