It happened around 11:00 on Tuesday night near the Maple Ridge Apartment Complex near 110th and Maple. 
 
It took hours for crews to put the fire out, they also had to deal with a roof collapse. 
 
The American Red Cross was on hand to help those who needed a place to stay.  
 
No one was hurt.  Fire investigators say the improper and careless use of a charcoal grill on a deck with high winds started the fire which caused an estimated $225,000 in damage.
