LAKE WORTH BEACH, Fla. — Thirteen people were impacted by a fire Saturday morning at a triplex apartment building in Lake Worth Beach, the American Red Cross said Sunday.
A Red Cross disaster-trained team helped coordinate emergency aid to those impacted by Saturday's fire, including seven children and a pet turtle, on North F Street. All three families were affected.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue was called to the 900 block of South F Street at about 4:30 a.m.
Firefighters found a badly burned shed in the back of the building. The fire had also spread to the apartment building.
There were no reported injuries, and the damage was limited to the shed and one of the apartments.
Preliminary findings show that the cause may have been electrical, but the investigation is ongoing.
