LOGAN â Fire broke out in Logan early Friday morning at a vacant apartment complex on Cole Street.
Firefighters responded to the massive blaze at around 4 a.m. According to Fuji Williams, a captain for the City of Logan Fire Department, the fire marked about the fifth time the department has responded to a fire at the vacant structure.

No injuries were reported.
Anyone with information is asked to call the City of Logan Fire Department at 304-752-3601 or the State Fire Marshalâs Office at 304-558-2191.
