JACKSONVILLE, Fla — The Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department responded to an apartment fire on Hyde Park Road Tuesday afternoon that left a family of six without a place to live.
JFRD responded to the 2100 block of Hyde Park Road shortly after 2 p.m., according to a post on the fire department's Twitter page. The fire was declared under control within 15 minutes.
The Red Cross was requested for two adults and four children, JFRD said. A video posted to the fire department's Twitter account showed heavy smoke pouring from a window.
