Firefighters assisted one resident down from the third floor, and three people were treated at the scene for possible smoke inhalation. No other injuries were reported. The apartment’s occupants were not home at the time. That apartment was uninhabitable, but residents were able to return to the other units within the building.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. No damage estimate was available.
