Boy Dies In Flint Twp. Apartment Fire
Authorities say a 5-year-old boy died in an early morning fire that swept through an apartment building in Flint Township. The cause of Tuesday's fire at the Sunridge apartment building is still under investigation. Township police identified the victim as Kadric Johnson.
Building manager George Kozan told The Flint Journal that five people lived in the apartment and five smoke detectors were recently inspected.
Witnesses said several people jumped from the building to escape the fire, about 50 miles northwest of Detroit. Police say no one else was hurt.
Six apartments were destroyed and two more were damaged.
