The first call for the fire at the Academy Road complex, near Holme Avenue in Torresdale, came in at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday. Officials reported that high winds made the blaze more difficult to put out. Displaced residents were taken by the Red Cross to a make-shift shelter at Abraham Lincoln High School.
