A fire destroyed a single-story apartment multiplex in Richland on Sunday morning.
Tri-County Fire Protection District responded to a report of a fire at the Walnut Apartments on South Walnut Street in Richland just after 4 AM Sunday.
They could see visible flames going through the roof from a distance, so they put out a call for mutual aid and seven fire departments responded.
All of the occupants were evacuated safely.
The Missouri Division of Fire Safety is investigating the fire.
