A dog was injured Monday morning by a fire that was ignited by a cigarette on a balcony and then trailed inside a Westminster apartment, authorities say.
The dog was transported to a veterinarian’s office for medical attention. No people were injured in the single-apartment fire, said Jeromy Hill, spokesman for the Westminster Fire Department.
The fire started on a balcony of an apartment at Alvista Falls Apartments, 6880 W. 91st Court, and spread inside the apartment.
Firefighters were called at 7:01 a.m. and were able to contain the fire to a single apartment, Hill said.
Investigators are trying to determine the cause of the fire, he said.
