Firefighters said the fire originated in a second-floor apartment and was extinguished by sprinklers, which contained the fire to that unit. 

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. 

An occupant in the fire apartment was injured and transported to a local hospital. No firefighter injuries were reported.

Fourteen second-floor residents were displaced by moderate water damage from the sprinkler system. The American Red Cross was called to assist those residents with shelter.
