MURRAY — A small apartment complex in Murray caught fire Sunday, forcing two families out of their home for the holiday.
Crews responded to Sultan Circle, around 300 West and 5900 South, at 1:25 p.m. when a caller reported smelling smoke coming from the two condos above their own.
Those residents said they called 911, grabbed their pets and evacuated.
The fire caused significant damage through a shared wall between the two upper level units.
By the time crews arrived, Murray fire Battalion Chief Stephen Olson said there was still one cat in the building that was not accounted for — and they immediately went to work searching for it.
The cat, as well as all other pets and occupants in the building, were not harmed in the fire.
"Even under ideal circumstances, this is not something you want to do on a holiday," Olson said. "Although they are healthy and well and uninjured from the fire, it's still a hard thing to endure."
