At 1:21 a.m. Sunday, crews were called to a fire at a vacant apartment building near 144th Street and Applied Parkway.

 

The four-alarm fire dramatically grew throughout the night, with crews battling the flames for at least seven hours. At least 80 emergency crews were on the scene at the height of the response.
