SOUTHGATE, Mich. (FOX 2) - Southgate firefighters are battling a massive fire at a senior apartment complex Tuesday afternoon.

Fire crews were called to the Meadows of Southgate on Allen Road around 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Fire crews arrived and send out a second alarm to seek more help to the scene.
