While on scene, crews discovered that the stairs outside of the building failed and required emergency repair.
The residents were relocated to a nearby motel as the repairs are going to take longer than expected, Follick said.
Some people wanted to get their cat and kittens out of the apartment but were not allowed to re-enter.
Vandalia Ladder 3 crews used a ground ladder to rescue the cats.
