No one was injured in an early Monday afternoon apartment fire in the 23800 block of 109th Avenue Southeast in Kent.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Firefighters from the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority responded to the incident after a passerby noticed smoke coming from a second-story apartment at 2:10 p.m. and called 911.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The fire was contained to the apartment where it started though smoke and water damaged at least one other unit, according to a Kent Fire Department media release. Holes were cut into the roof to allow smoke to escape and to check for fire in the attic space.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

All of the affected units at the Mosaic Hills apartments are leased, though no one was home at the time of the fire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Fire investigators have not yet determined the cause of the fire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This marks the second fire in this complex in the last two months. On Oct. 3, a three-alarm fire destroyed several units in another building. Two people were seriously injured in that fire after jumping from the third floor.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
