Tenants from an apartment building in Barrie have been displaced following an early morning fire.
According to Barrie Fire, crews were called to an apartment on Innisfil Street just after 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday to respond to a basement fire.
Fire officials say there were no smoke alarms in the building, but flames melted a plastic water line in the ceiling, which acted as a sprinkler to help put the flames out.
Officials say no one was hurt as a result of the fire; however, 10 people from six units have now been displaced.
Barrie Fire investigators estimate the fire caused more than $50,000 in damages.
According to officials, the fire is not suspicious.
Innisfil Street between Victoria and Dufferin streets, was closed temporarily while crews investigated. It has since reopened.
