Investigators: Candle Started Apartment Fire

Investigators blame a candle in a bedroom for starting this morning’s fire in a Warsaw apartment complex. According to a news release from the Warsaw Fire Department, EMS took one woman and her three children to Kosciusko Community Hospital, where they received treatment for smoke inhalation. None of the victims were admitted to the hospital. The release says water and smoke damage displaced 11 families. The release says Building Commissioner Todd Slabaugh does not yet know whether the building’s owners will repair it or tear it down. Warsaw firefighters were on the scene for about 11 hours this morning.
