University of Montana Apartments Catch Fire

Dozens of University of Montana students and their families were evacuated after a fire broke out in the University Villages on Saturday afternoon.

The Missoulian reports that three apartments were completely destroyed. No injuries were reported.

Firefighters responded to a call of huge flames leaping out of the second story of an apartment located within a building in Elliott Village that houses seven other units.

Derek Mullins, a battalion chief with the Missoula Fire Department, told the newspaper that the cause of the fire is under investigation.
