On Monday night, flames ripped through a section of the Belmont Courts Apartments.

The fire started in one apartment and spread to eight other units, leaving five adults and five children temporarily without a home. Those who live in the apartments are now wondering what's next.

"There were so many people, cops and firemen. I was like 'wow.' It was kind of crazy," said resident Nicholas Green.

Green added that "the flames came out and you can see everything and you could hear it. It was bad and people were screaming.

"I'm just happy they're safe. It could've been something worse. The whole building could have come down."
