Around 2 o 'clock Tuesday afternoon panic broke out at an apartment complex in Liberty.
By chance, paramedics happened to be driving by and noticed smoke billowing from the apartment complex roof. They immediately began evacuating the building.
Authorities attacked the fire from above and below as the blaze moved quickly within the walls and ceilings of the units and out through the roof.
The cold, snowy weather made it even more difficult for crews to put out the fire. But as hard as it was for firefighters, residents of the apartments could only look on in despair as the windows were broken.
Residents grabbed what little they could and just crossed their fingers and hoped for the best.
Authorities say that the official cause of the fire is still under investigation
