Fire Rips Through Apartment In Lansdale

LANSDALE, Pa. (CBS) -- Police are investigating a fire that ripped through an apartment overnight in Lansdale, Montgomery County.

The fire started around 1 a.m. Wednesday inside a two-story apartment complex in the 500 block of Green Street near West Hancock Street.

Officials say the flames broke out inside the first floor apartment and quickly spread to the apartment above.

"My whole room was filled with smoke. The whole town is filled with smoke," said a neighbor. "It's bad, it's big. It started on the bottom level and worked its way up to the top."

It took firefighters about an hour to get the blaze under control.

There were no injuries reported but CBS 3 was told some pets may have been killed in the fire.

There was no immediate word on what sparked the fire.
