Up to 15 people displaced by West Chester fire made worse by wind

Three units were affected, and two were occupied at the time, Prinz said.

Officials are working to determine the cause of the fire, and it was too early to estimate the damage cost, he said.

Strong winds made battling the fire more difficult and “pushed” the flames into other units, Prinz said.

Smoke from the fire was visible from Interstate 75, as the complex is near the Tylersville Road exit.
