Two firefighters are injured and over three dozen people are displaced after a fire tore through a Wallingford apartment complex Tuesday evening.

Fire officials said they were called to Terrace Gardens apartments on South Elm Street.

The fire chief said two responding firefighters sustained minor injuries. No one else was hurt.

The Red Cross said they are helping 38 people that are displaced as a result of the fire.

There was a hoarding situation in one of the apartments that made it difficult to put out the fire, according to crews.

The building has been deemed uninhabitable. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
