The on-duty platoon captain said one woman went to check on the source of the noise and found a fire.

All the residents were able to evacuate the building and were not hurt.

Fire officials Wednesday morning are investigating what sparked the blaze, and what in that room was on fire.

However, the fire department said the blaze is not suspicious and they are investigating whether it was an electrical fire.

The fire department said the damage was contained to a bedroom and hallway.

The residents are now staying with a neighbour.
