A New Year’s Day fire displaced residents in four units at Paradise Apartments in Port Arthur.
The call of the fire came in at 1:56 a.m. Friday to the apartments, located at 4001 Memorial Blvd.
The fire was located in the attic of one of the apartment units. A total of four units were damaged by either fire, water or smoke, and those residents displaced, Port Arthur Fire Battalion Chief Jay Fountain said.
