Anyone got the scoop? Trees & Leaves exposed? Looks like there's a fire truck. Also, fuck all police.

Trees and Leaves, one building burned, no injuries other than a firefighter that hurt himself unloading equipment.

Because of this cluster fuck and them closing Kent, they wouldnt let me get to my house. Great way to start a morning

"Twelve Raleigh residents are without a home after an apartment fire around 5 a.m. Friday. Raleigh fire officials said four apartments at the Trees and Leaves Apartments, at 1319 Kent Road, were destroyed and that four others were damaged by smoke. No one living in the apartments was injured, but a firefighter hurt his wrist when he fell, authorities said. Investigators are still looking into what caused the fire but believe it could be arson that was the result of an argument. A 5-gallon can of gasoline was found at the scene."

Twelve people displaced over arson? I'd be pissed as shit if my apartment got torched over someone else's argument.

When i saw all of the fire trucks i was hoping* that it was Trees and Leaves that burned down. Kinda disappointed that it was only one building and not the whole complex. They really need to do something about that place, the cops are there all the time and there have been multiple stabbings, shootings and now an arson in the past year.



*not to wish ill will against the good tenants there

Nothing good ever comes from that dump.

That's just ridiculous to torch several apartments and misplace several other people over what will surely turn out to be some stupid feud. And it's not like those people own the apartments anyway. His intended victim probably lost next to nothing of value while the apartment's insurance company will be out $100k+. What a sorry excuse for a person.

Displacing the Trees and Thieves lot sucks...I don't want them moving into my neighborhood

Jumped from a window? They're all 1-story buildings. One would think you could simply climb out over the sill...

Drove by it a little while ago. Man that's messed up. It's one of the units right at the road, so you can get a good view of it.
