ROCK HILL, S.C. — The Rock Hill Fire Department responded to a structure fire at an apartment complex Wednesday night. No one was hurt, but multiple apartments at the Paces River Apartments were damaged. 

Officials said the call came in just before 6 p.m. The fire happened in two apartments in the upper level, but smoke and water damage impacted surrounding apartments.

At this time, the exact cause of the fire is not known but is under investigation.

No injuries were reported, but there were ambulances on the scene as a precaution. 

The Red Cross is providing immediate financial aid, blankets, and hygiene kits to families living in eight of the apartments impacted -- a total of 17 residents.

Three of those families, totaling five adults and one child, are receiving lodging assistance since they were displaced.

Red Cross will follow up with the families Thursday to help assess needs and create a recovery plan.
