The Morris Fire Department battled an apartment fire Sunday night that caused $500,000 the Morris Daily Herald is reporting.

"I'm absolutely very surprised with the amount of fire and the type of conditions," Chief Tracey Steffes told the Morris paper. "We're very lucky we did not have a fatality with the extreme fire conditions there last night."

Firefighters responded to the fire in the 500 block of Twilight Drive at 8:50 p.m.
