Cigarette Butt The Source of Austin Apartment Blaze

Some people are out of their homes this morning after a late night fire in Northwest Austin. Firefighters were called out to the Keystone Apartments Monday night just after 11:00 p.m. When they arrived, crews found fire coming from the roof. They were able to get it out in about 20 minutes. No one was injured. Two units have fire and smoke damage and four others have smoke and water damage. Damage estimates are about $300,000. Management of the complex is working to find a place to stay for those out of their homes. AFD ruled the fire accidental due to improperly discarded smoking material.
