Fire caused heavy damage early Wednesday to a three-story apartment building in the 500 block of Cutchen Lane, Fayetteville Fire Department officials said.
Posted — Updated
There were no reports of injuries, but three of the 24 units in the three-story building were heavily damaged and nine others suffered smoke and water damage.
The apartment complex relocated seven other residents because of the smell of smoke.
Authorities said it appeared that the fire started on a second-floor balcony and then spread along the side of the building into the attic.
Flames were shooting through the roof when firefighters arrived.
It took about 20 minutes for firefighters to get the blaze under control, and they remained at the scene until 5 a.m.
