A total of seven units were affected. Fire investigators are working to figure out what caused the blaze. As far as smoke detectors and fire extinguishers go, officials said all the safety equipment was in place.

"Our crews did call the Red Cross, so the Red Cross is helping them with temporary housing if they need it."
