Two people are displaced following an accidental apartment fire. No injuries were reported.

Ladder Co. 6 and other MFD crews were dispatched to the 2300 block of Cypress Way. Firefighters arrived to find black smoke banked to the floor and rolling over the eaves of the exterior. Ladder 6 located and extinguished the fire, then began ventilating the apartment. One cat was found in a bedroom and taken to its owner. The cat did not suffer any injuries. With fire damage limited to the original apartment unit, no other occupants were displaced.

The MFD Fire Investigation Team determined the fire was accidental as a result of items being left on top of an active stovetop burner. The American Red Cross is assisting the displaced occupants.
