Fire fighters arrived at the scene and saw smoke coming from a third-floor apartment. An attack line stretched to the third-floor landing and crews found entry to the apartment’s sprinkler system to help keep two separate fires from spreading.

The fire was quickly extinguished and residents were evacuated safely. No injuries were reported.

Officials said a total of 12 units lost power because of the fire and apartment management is working to restore utilities and relocate the residents.

Montgomery County Fire Marshal’s Office investigators determined that the fire’s cause was incendiary, and a short time later, arrested one of the apartment’s occupants for arson.
