Fire crews responded to the structure at 85 Walnut St. in London at around 7 p.m. Tuesday after a fire broke out on a fifth-floor balcony.
The blaze was confined to the balcony on the south side of the building and damage is estimated at $70,000.
It’s the same building that suffered extensive damage when a fire broke out in 2013, claiming one life.
The cause of Tuesday night’s fire has yet to be determined but the district chief who attended the scene believes a discarded cigarette butt from a higher floor may be at fault.
