I live very near these apartments and didn't even know about this until everyone at work was talking about it. Wow!

One of our Newark police officers was at work at the time... His wife got out OK,but they lost everything.

I hope they had renter's insurance. In today's tight economy it's so easy to think you don't really need that.

they were new enough to have sprinklers in the units, wonder what exactly happened.

Drove past the apartments on Sunday, wow. I feel badly for the folks living there. The area is gated off with a security guard keeping watch.

My first house I ever owned was in Buckley. I remember when those apartments went in. I can't imagine how devastating that must be to lose everything.
