The fire started about 6 pm in a 3-story, 10-unit apartment building and it escalated rapidly after a suspected propane cylinder exploded or vented during the early stages of the fire.  A total of 50 residents were driven out of their homes as the fire completely destroyed the building.  Early reports say that a nearby dental office and another apartment building suffered some damages.
