Manhattan— An electrical issue is blamed for a fire at an apartment building in Manhattan.
Just after 11:30 p.m. Thursday the Fire crews were dispatched to 3112 Heritage Lane for a report of a structure fire. Upon arrival, crews found a three-story apartment building with a fire in an exterior electrical box, according to Deputy Fire Chief Ryan Almes.
The fire spread to inside the walls of the building. Crews extinguished the fire within one hour.
