Dozens Displaced in Burlingame Apartment Fire

The fire was reported late Friday night on Cadillac Way.

Firefighters extinguished an apartment building fire in Burlingame early Saturday morning that displaced as many as 50 residents, a deputy fire chief said.

The fire at 1015 Cadillac Way was reported at 11:14 p.m. Friday, Central County Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief Mark Ladas said.

Two units on the third floor of the 51-unit building were entirely gutted by the flames, Ladas said. The rest of the 17 apartments on the third floor sustained smoke damage, leaving them temporarily uninhabitable.

In total, between 25 and 50 residents of the building were left temporarily homeless Saturday morning, and were being assisted by the Red Cross.
