The apartment building had 19 occupied units. The Red Cross was called to the scene to provide assistance to all of the occupants.
The woman in the third-floor apartment where the fire started suffered possible smoke inhalation and was taken to a hospital. No one else was injured.
An "undetermined" fire is defined "when cause cannot be proven to an acceptable level of certainty."
