Liz Mikel, who plays Corinna Williams in the Friday Night Lights television series, was one of several Lake Highlands area residents left without a home tonight following a fire at the Holly Oaks apartment complex near Walnut Hill and Greenville Ave. No one was killed in the blaze that broke out early this morning, but a firefighter fell, injured his shoulder, and was treated at Parkland. All ten units in the two-story building were destroyed; the cold weather caused delays in fighting the flames, a fire department spokesperson says.

Mikel is very active in the local theater community and is scheduled to appear in the upcoming Dallas Theater Center musical “Give It Up”.

The American Red Cross was helping fire victims today, and Mikel’s agent reports that a benefit is being planned for this weekend. I’m not sure if that will be a benefit for all the victims or for Mikel and her family, but we’ll get you more info as we get it.
