FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Fire investigators say that a misplaced hookah is to blame for a devastating Fort Collins apartment fire earlier this year.

The Coloradoan reports (http://noconow.co/1gVHvcL ) that the May 20 fire originated in a living room at Brookview Apartments after occupants mishandled smoking materials.

The early-morning fire displaced 24 people — 13 of them for an extended period of time — and caused some minor injuries.

Wednesday’s blaze wasn’t the first time fire crews responded to the apartment complex. An explosion stemming from hash oil production rocked a building in October 2013.
