After more than seven hours, the water finally stopped coming down from the ceiling.
ABC13 received calls from neighbors at the Westfield Ridge Apartments on Hafer Road around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The residents said the fire sprinkler started going off around 6 p.m. Tuesday, and their bathrooms and bedrooms looked like lakes.
Even the best plans to avoid disaster weren t enough, and the woman is now left with damage and nowhere to go. We heard water pouring in. It came in through the vent above my TV, resident Channelle Love said. It started coming through walls. Now it s a few inches in the unit.
