Firefighters were able to limit the fire to the single unit but were hampered by clutter in the residence, according to Breunig. Shortly after the blaze was controlled, firefighters could be seen removing charred mattresses, clothes and other material from the second floor of the home. Breunig said the residents of the unit would be relocated but all neighbors would be able to return to their homes. Nobody was injured in the fire. The cause is still under investigation.
