displaced 15 adults and five children, according to the Greensboro Fire

assisting the residents with housing.
McKnight Mill Road and Trent Street in that area are
closed because of the fire investigation, Rogers said. Division
Two units sustained heavy fire damage, two others had
fire and smoke damage, and the remaining four were deemed uninhabitable because
of potential damage to electrical lines from the blaze, Rogers said.
"The four units had a common attic," he said.
The cause of the fire is unknown; inspectors are
awaiting daylight and for some of the smoke inside to clear.
"We're still unable to get in to inspect the
building, Rogers said. "We'll be there for several hours."
