Hunters Chase Apartments Burn
July 26, 2008
At least nine families have been displaced after their apartment complex suffered fire, smoke and water damage. The fire, at the 12-unit Hunters Chase apartments on 12343 Hunters Chase Drive in Jollyville, started at 7:30 p.m., according to Gabe Thompson, a captain with the Jollyville Fire Department. The fire’s cause is under investigation. All units suffered damage, he said.
It took 20 firefighters, from Jollyville, Austin, Cedar Park, and Sam Bass, to bring the fire under control. It was brought under control at 10 p.m., Thompson said.
Nine families have been placed in other apartments in the same complex or in an adjacent complex, according to Elaine Acker, a spokeswoman for the Central Texas Red Cross, which is helping resettle the families. Other families were out of town at the time of the fire, she said.
