The four-plex is located near Orchard Supply Hardware and Brenda Athletic Club in Turlock. Tampa St. was closed at Geer Rd.

There is no known cause, but the blaze is under investigation.

An elderly woman was at home, but escaped the residence in time to avoid injury, officials said.

The fire was confined to one upstairs unit, but one or possibly two other units of the four-plex suffered water damage, according to Turlock Fire Department division chief Mark Gomez.
