Emporia’s Four Seasons management says residents displaced by the fire late last week can go back to their dwellings if they so choose — unless they live in the apartment where the fire apparently broke out..
Local management says it alerted residents late Sunday after “round-the-clock” cleaning this past weekend.
Residents had been displaced after fire developed at 2230 Prairie apartment 2A around 9:30 am Friday. Nobody was hurt, although several residents were briefly trapped on their balconies. Fire was apparently limited to the listed apartment, but there was smoke damage throughout the complex.
It could be mid-week at the earliest before a cause is listed.
Sixteen families were displaced. This is being listed as Emporia’s biggest fire-related resident displacement in over 20 years.
