STOCKTON (CBS13) – More than 30 people, including 19 kids, have been displaced after a fire broke out at an apartment complex in Stockton Monday evening.

The scene was near Ponce De Leon Avenue and Acapulco Way.

Firefighters responded to the scene a little 7 p.m. and found flames shooting from the roof of the multi-unit apartment building.

Crews were able to knock down the flames, but not before significant damage was done to the building.

A total of 35 people - 16 adults and 19 children - have been displaced by the fire, officials say. The Red Cross is helping the families.

Firefighters believe the fire originated in a carport next to the two structures damaged.
