Fire destroys apartments in Las Colinas, residents saved by mother and son
A mother and son went door-to-door in an apartment complex in Las Colinas, warning residents about a fire that destroyed 10 units.
Fire officials told FOX 4 that everyone made it out of the house safely, and no one was hurt.
Multiple agencies responded to help put out the flames, but officials said they were having some water supply issues because there was no fire hydrant in that area.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
