Yakima Fire Department firefighters have been busy this morning battling flames of a fire at the Heatherton Senior Community apartments at 5701 Chestnut Avenue. Yakima Fire Capt. Jeff Pfaff says the firefighters were called to the fire at about 1:20 a.m. "When they arrives they found flames coming out of three or four units here so they called for more resources."
6 units in the complex were destroyed by the fire and the 12 residents directly impacted by the fire are being helped by family members and the American Red Cross. The residents were evacuated to the nearby Highgate House.  No injuries have been reported. The cause is under investigation but Pfaff says it appears the fire start in an attic space of one of the units.
