Plymouth apartment fire kills resident, displaces dozens

An early morning fire over the weekend at a Plymouth apartment complex left one person dead and temporarily displaced other residents.

Plymouth Fire Department investigators were working Sunday to determine the fire's cause.

According to a news release from city officials, Plymouth firefighters responded at 2:24 a.m. Saturday to a report of smoke at an apartment complex in the 3600 block of Lancaster Lane N. They found an apartment unit engulfed in flames.

One resident, whose name had not yet been released, died in the fire. Officials evacuated the building and shut off its water as firefighters worked to make sure the fire is out.

An American Red Cross spokesperson said Sunday that 60 people were displaced by the fire.
