An early Saturday morning fire completely destroyed a four-unit apartment complex in downtown McKenzie. McKenzie Fire Department firefighters responded shortly after 4:00 a.m. to the apartment house on Main Street, adjacent to the Russell and Smith clinics. McKenzie Police Department evacuated all occupants from the building.

Most of the occupants were college students, said apartment owner Kenny Beasley. He noted one of the occupants was planning to move to Nashville on the very day of the fire.

Everything was lost in the fire.

Main Street was blocked from Banner Row to Bruce Street on Saturday morning as firefighters assured that the remaining fire did not damage adjacent buildings.
