Summary
A devastating fire tore through an apartment building on Festubert Street in Duncan, leaving residents displaced and raising alarms over possible arson. The blaze, which began in the carport, destroyed several units while sparing some bedrooms—offering a glimmer of relief for tenants like Dave Hall, who lost his kitchen and living room but kept his valuables safe. Now, with rents in the area soaring and the building’s future uncertain, many fear permanent displacement as they scramble to find affordable housing. As investigators dig into the fire’s origin, the community rallies to support those left homeless, spotlighting the fragility of affordable housing and the long-term toll on vulnerable tenants.
