The entire inner section of the top flat was gutted by fire of unknown origin. Mellissa Jordan and her roommate Kendra Arthurs were too distraught to speak to TrakkerNews. The fire started from the eastern section of the house in a bedroom. Public spirited neighbors tried to save what they could since no one was at home when the fire started.They only managed to save a chair set and a dvd player.
