LAKEPORT, Calif. – Late Sunday night authorities reopened a portion of Bevins Street closed due to an apartment complex fire, and reported on sheltering measures taken for victims.
The street closure – which ended by 10:30 p.m. Sunday – resulted from the Lakeview Housing senior apartments complex fire that began early Sunday evening, as Lake County News has reported.
One person died and three others were injured in the fire, according to Lakeport Police Chief Brad Rasmussen.
Rasmussen said the entire apartment complex was closed until further notice, with police and fire units remaining on scene during the night to investigate.
About 30 residents who were displaced by the fire were taken first to the Lakeport Senior Activity Center where their needs were assessed, Rasmussen said.
Rasmussen said those who needed shelter were taken to the Lakeport Seventh-day Adventist Church at 1111 Park Way.
Police said family members can call 707-621-2973 for information.
