Twenty-three Triangle residents displaced by an apartment fire are now being moved in to new units today at Linden Park Apartments.

Prince William fire and rescue were on the scene of the third-floor apartment fire on April 28, when the residents in the building were evacuated.

Responders were able to extinguish the fire, which was ruled as an accidental fire from unattended food cooking the kitchen, but there is more than $275,000 worth of damage done to the building, said Prince William fire and rescue.

The Red Cross gave the 23 displaced residents three days in a hotel, and they are now moving in to new units in a different building.

“All of the residents will be placed into other comparable housing they have on the property. So there are other apartments that are available. They will have a place to move to in the same complex,” said Susan Prince, a representative for the Finesa Management Group.

The day after the fire, management was able to help residents get in to the building to get essential belongings, but some areas were inaccessible.

“The building was condemned but people needed to get into the building to get their credit cards and some clothes. So the management company was able to get the Fire Marshal to allow them to get back in – where possible,” said Prince.

Prince stated that they were honoring all current rent agreements.

According to Prince, there are plans to renovate and repair the building, but it will be a long time before residents will be able to be occupy it again.
