Nashville Apartment Fire Destroys 18 Units

May 28, 2021

A fire destroyed at least 18 units at a Nashville, Tennessee, apartment complex Monday night, fire officials said.

News outlets reported that fire crews were called to the Brentwood Oaks Apartments around 8 p.m.

Fire hydrants close to the building didn’t provide enough pressure to fight the flames, Nashville Fire Department spokesperson Joseph Pleasant told WTVF-TV, so more water was drawn from the bottom of the hill.

The Nashville Fire Department said around 11 p.m. that it had the fire under control and it was working to shut off the natural gas in the building.

Fire crews remained at the site Tuesday morning to put out hot spots, news outlets reported.

It’s unclear how many residents were displaced. The American Red Cross of Tennessee is assisting those affected.

No injuries were reported, according to Nashville Fire. The cause of the fire is being investigated.
