Two people were injured at an apartment fire in Fort Collins at about 3:30 p.m. today.
Firefighters arrived at the three story, wood-frame building at 2601 Davidson Drive and found smoke showing from one window on the third floor.
Fire investigators believe the fire started when a pot of oil was left on a live stove burner after the food was removed. The fire was called an accident.
One of the injured victims was transported to the hospital for smoke inhalation after having re-entered the apartment multiple times before firefighters arrived, attempting to rescue a cat and put out the fire.
The cat was later rescued, but the Poudre Fire Authority issued a reminder that no one should enter a burning building or home for any reason.
Firefighters had control of the fire in about ten minutes.
Two people were displaced from the apartments. The Red Cross is assisting with food, clothing and shelter.
