Dozens are displaced following a three-alarm fire at Highpoint Apartments

A fire at Highpoint Apartments has displaced dozens of people. The complex, formerly known as Legacy Crossing, is located north of 105th and Fort.

As of 6:00 p.m. on Monday, We had gathered the following information from Omaha Fire and witnesses.

  • The initial call came around 3:00 p.m. Because additional help was needed, a second and then third alarm were called.
  • According to the Omaha Fire Department: 60 people from 20 apartments are displaced; the fire has affected 24 units.
  • Strong winds have complicated the fight. Crews are now in a defensive posture – unable to be as assertive in preventing the spread of the fire.
