Six families are without a home after a suspicious fire at a Metropolis apartment complex.
Firefighters responded to a fire at the complex around 8:15 p.m. Thursday. A couch fire was extinguished.
Firefighters were called back to the complex just before 1 a.m. Friday. The entire roof was engulfed in flames, according to fire officials.
No injuries were reported; however, the building is considered a total loss.
An arson investigator with the Illinois State Fire Marshall’s office was called to inspect the apartment complex.
