Murfreesboro Fire and Rescue Department responded to an apartment fire at 815 Fairview Avenue just after 9:30 Friday night.

According to Fire Marshal Carl Peas, the Friday night blaze appears accidental. "The fire seemed to have started in the attic section of Apartment 6," said Peas. Peas also believes that a security light above Unit 6 could have been the cause.

Ladders 1 and 8, Engine 1, and Rescues 7 and 8 responded to the Fairview Apartments to see flames shooting through the rough of apartment number six. That unit was on the end of the structure.

According to Shift Commander Dale Maynard, crews were able to get the fire out quickly.

Maynard told NewsRadio WGNS, "At this time we think it's possible that the fire started in the attic, but we've asked the Fire Marshal to come out to investigate."

No one was inside the apartment when crews arrived on scene. Assistance from the Red Cross was not needed.

No injuries were associated with the incident.
