Families Forced Out Of Apartments By Fire

 A late-night fire forced several people out of their apartments in Lexington Sunday.
 
 The fire broke out at the Belmont Park Apartments at 1450 Etawah Drive shortly after 11 p.m.
 
 Firefighters said a passerby noticed smoke coming from an apartment and called it in.
 
 A man, woman and child lived in the apartment but firefighters said they were not home at the time the fire started.
 
 Firefighters evacuated all the residents in the apartment complex while they battled the fire.
 
 They said they were able to get the fire out quickly and it did not spread beyond the one apartment.
 
 While they were battling the fire, firefighters found and rescued the dog belonging to the people that lived in the apartment.

 The Red Cross put up the residents who lived in the apartment where the fire started.
 
 The other residents were eventually able to go back into their apartments.
 
 A fire investigator was called in but there is still no word on a cause.
 
 Firefighters said it was a busy night.
 
 Shortly before the fire at the Belmont Apartments, firefighters worked a fire at a vacant home.
 
 That one broke out just before 10:20 p.m. Sunday on Hummingbird Lane.
 
 Firefighters do not yet have a cause on that fire either.
