Six families displaced by fire

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.
