Dozens of residents of a senior apartment complex were evacuated on a hot evening as firefighters worked to put out an electrical fire that broke out at the complex Tuesday, officials said.

It's the second electrical fire at the complex in the last five weeks.

The fire broke out at the Courtyard Apartments at Riverview, on South 4th Street near Washington Avenue in Queen Village, just before 7 p.m. Tuesday. It took firefighters more than five hours to get the blaze under control. Philadelphia's Department of Licenses and Inspections said the building didn't suffer any structural damage.

A spokesperson for the American Red Cross said a temporary shelter was established at Kensington High School for the Creative and Performing Arts. Nearly 60 residents are using the shelter, the spokesperson said.

It's unclear when residents will be able to return to their homes.

Alana Mauger with the Red Cross said volunteers are at the shelter 24/7 and they're doing their best to support residents. 

"We are committed to taking care of people as long as they need us," Mauger said.

Some residents returned to the apartment building the day after they were forced to evacuate to collect their belongings. With no washer or dryer at the school, some residents are hand washing their clothes and drying them on a fence outside.

Philadelphia Second Alarmers provided rehab services to firefighters as they fought through hot and humid conditions, and SEPTA brought out a cooling bus for residents.

"All my food is trashed, and I'm not reimbursed, not one nickel," resident Sam Holbrook said. "No excuses given, we tried to reach the corporate office in New Jersey, and they just put a wall up."

In June, hundreds of firefighters evacuated over 200 residents from the building after an electrical fire. PECO had to shut off power for several hours.

"I got the text this morning, outage undetermined," Holbrook said. "That is unacceptable, because if it happened twice, it's going to happen again."

Residents are growing frustrated with the building's management over repeated issues.

"That's unacceptable because if it happened twice, it's going to happen again," Holbrook said.

"Do it correctly. It's 25 floors, so they need to do the right thing. You can't patch up a building like this, one woman said. "I feel like they just really patched it up."

Crews were seen working at the building on Thursday.
