Fire destroyed two homes and an apartment building and damaged two other structures in the 500 block of West Centre Street Sunday afternoon, leaving 21 people homeless.

Just before 3 p.m. firefighters were called for a working structure fire at 505 W. Centre St. They met heavy fire and smoke at the vacant three-story structure.

Flames quickly spread west to an apartment building at 507 W. Centre St. and east to a home at 503 W. Centre and caused extensive damage to both buildings.

Additionally, a home at 501 W. Centre St. had moderate damage and a home at 509 W. Centre St. minimal smoke and water damage, fire Marshal Rick Examitas said.
