The only injury was to a firefighter, who will be OK.
The fire caused the roof to collapse, and crews were still working to clean up the mess on Sunday.
One resident said he was in New Jersey for the long weekend and drove back in the middle of the night when he heard about the fire.
"I've been here for the last 12 years. . . got to start over again" he said. "It's sad."
The Red Cross is helping those displaced by the fire. The cause of the fire is not yet known.
