No one was inside the apartment when the fire was reported at about 8:10 p.m. Saturday (March 26) at 275 Caroline St.
The blaze was contained to the room where the curling iron had been left.
No injuries were reported.
The apartment was home to two women and two children, Hawks said. They’ve been staying at a hotel since the fire and are looking for a place to rent.
The apartment is one of many in a multi-unit building at 275 Caroline St.
Firefighters rescued two cats from the fire. A photo of one of the cats is posted above. It was published with permission from Hot Shots by Tim.
The apartment house was the scene of a deadly fire in 1991 that took the life of a mom and her two children.
