Several families were left without a place to call home after a fire ripped through their apartment complex earlier this week in Sunnyvale. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but officials say two dozen people were displaced.

Frank and Nicole had been living in their apartment on Kirkland Drive since 2018 with their five children. They’re now living in a hotel. Raquel Perez and her family are in a similar situation. She and her kids are living in a hotel while they find a new home.

Officials say no one was hurt in the fire. ...read more read less
