Some residents at Settler's Cove apartments in Beaumont are trying to put the pieces of their lives back together after a fire destroyed their homes. The residents were awakened by a fire early Sunday morning. The fire quickly spread and when it was over 24 apartments were destroyed. No one was hurt, but unfortunately some animals died in the fire. Most of the residents like Michaelyn Ballentine did not have renter's insurance. Ballentine was on her way home from a vacation in Florida when she received a call from her apartment manager. "I freaked out," she tells FRONT ROW. She was one of several residents standing outside some of the boarded-up apartments trying to come up with a plan. A Beaumont police officer was trying to get the American Red Cross number so residents could call for assistance. If you'd like to help, call the apartment complex. I'm sure they will be glad to hear from you.
