[UPDATE] The cause of yesterday's fire at Briarwood Apartments has been labeled accidental. Investigators say the cause was a dropped cigarette in a bedroom.


[ORIGINAL STORY]  Four families had to find new places to stay after a fire at an apartment complex on Golf Links Boulevard.

Fire crews arrived at Briarwood Apartments to find an upstairs apartment with heavy flames and smoke coming from the windows. A second alarm was called in to keep the fire from spreading to the other three apartments in the building.

All four of the apartments were occupied, but all the families got out safely. All of them but one were able to be housed with family or friends. The fourth was provided shelter by the American Red Cross.

No injuries have been reported. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
