An apartment fire in Panama City Tuesday night is under investigation.

According to the Panama City Fire Department, they responded to Macedonia Apartments at around 8 p.m.

Firefighters went into one building that was filled with heavy smoke and flames. Several units were damaged in that fire. They found another building in the complex on fire.

More emergency crews responded and that building had damage to the outside. They say it took crews about two hours to get the fires under control.
