Nashville, July 10, (THAINDIAN NEWS) A fire which broke out in the Prestige Point Apartments of Nashville has left none among the residents of the complex hurt and has not caused much damage to the building either. However officials have not stopped investigating on the reasons which led to the sudden fire breakout, with most among them referring to it as intentional and purposely done.
The fire supposedly broke out in the wee hours of Friday morning. Residents of Prestige Point reported seeing a cloud of smoke coming out of a vacant apartment in the lower floors of the three storey building. It was then that the fire officials were summoned to the spot, quickly putting off the fire which was seen blazing out of a bathtub in the abandoned apartment of Prestige Point. According to the statements made by the officials, the vacant apartment was not locked at the time when they arrived at the spot of the accident. Residents of Prestige Point confirmed that the particular apartment remains open as it is used as a storeroom.
Fire officials have submitted a report which lists everybody as unhurt and says that one of the blocks of the building on Paragon Mills Road was damaged as a result of the fire. What the fire officials are not sure about is the reason behind the sudden outbreak of fire. While they have traced nothing inside the vacant apartment which may suggest the onset of a fire, the officials are suspecting foul play in the incident. Fire officials who were summoned at the spot of accident said that the fire was pre-planned.
