It took about two hours to knock down the flames that could be seen from a large distance away.
While the cause of the fire has not been officially established, there was speculation that a Christmas Tree had ignited in an apartment due to an electrical failure and quickly filled he apartment with fire.
Preliminary damage estimates put damage to the structure at $400,000 and to the contents at $250,000.
