The College Glen Apartments in Lacey were damaged by fire early Tuesday, displacing some residents of the complex, according to Lacey Fire District 3.
Lacey fire crews were dispatched about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday to the 5000 block of 55th Lane Southeast after a report of a commercial fire alarm. But that was quickly upgraded after a second report of flames being visible, Battalion Chief Tim Hulse said.
Based on a preliminary investigation, the fire started outside the building on the second floor, then spread to the third floor and the attic. A cause has not been determined, he said.
The Red Cross has been notified because some residents were displaced by the fire, Hulse said.
