LITTLE ROCK, AR – Some residents had to be evacuated from the Plaza Towers Wednesday night due to a water leak. The news comes less than 12 hours after the apartment complex was
cleared for people to move back in.
The Little Rock Fire Department says a small leak on the 9th floor required residents on that floor to be evacuated.
The apartment high-rise was evacuated Monday June 11th after a large fire broke out on the first floor. One resident, Vertis Brown, died two days later from injuries she received in the fire. Wednesday afternoon, more than a week later, the apartments were reopened.
LRFD has not released the cause of the fatal fire.
