Everyone in the building was able to get out safely.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>The fire started on the upper story deck of one unit and spread to the attic space through bird blocking. The common attic was charged with smoke and heat. Firefighters cut several holes in the roof to allow the trapped heat to escape while they fought the fire from inside the condo.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>While the unit where the fire started was heavily damaged, only one other unit was affected and that homeowner was allowed to reoccupy her condo after a short delay.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>The cause of the fire was improperly discarded cigarettes that smoldered and ignited the wood deck and siding.
