Fire officials have determined that the 5-alarm fire at a Dallas senior living facility was caused by an improperly discarded cigarette.
A large portion of Serenity Apartments, located in Far East Dallas, is being demolished following the fire that forced dozens of seniors out of their homes and injured two firefighters.
Jason Evans, spokesman for Dallas Fire-Rescue, explained how one resident started it all on a second-floor balcony. Evans said the apartment management team evacuated most residents before firefighters arrived. The city took 68 of them on DART buses to the Samuel Grand Rec Center.Carol Shelton talked about how quickly it all happened.
