OGDEN, Utah — A fire broke out in an apartment building late Tuesday night in Ogden, displacing two residents who both sustained minor injuries.
The Ogden Fire Department said in an update Wednesday afternoon that the fire was started by "improper disposal of smoking material" outside of the building — specifically a cigarette.
The fire department said they got the call around 10:15 p.m. at a 2-story building at Ridgeview Apartments, located on the 700 North block of Washington Blvd.

Firefighters reported seeing smoke and flames coming from the windows, and a large portion of the middle unit had been "consumed." They searched the building and evacuated all the residents, then put the fire out within about 10 minutes, the department said.
Two residents were displaced as a result of the fire. One suffered minor burns, and the other suffered mild smoke inhalation. Both have been treated and released and are being assisted by the American Red Cross.

Officials estimate the damage at $600,000.
The department said 22 firefighters responded, with three fire engines, one ladder truck and two ambulances.
