CINCINNATI - Fire officials are investigating the cause of a fire at an Anderson Township condominium early Tuesday morning.
The fire started at the Anderson Ridge Condominiums in the 7300 block of Ridgepoint Drive at about 4 a.m. The blaze began on a second story balcony and moved up to the third floor, but fire crews contained the flames to one building, said Battalion Chief Fred Buop.
A resident in a nearby building noticed the flames from the balcony and alerted the people in the condominium.
Residents of the condominium were evacuated and no one was injured in the fire. The blaze has displaced two families and four units sustained smoke damage.
Fire investigators are looking into the cause of the fire, but Buop said they found smoking materials on the balcony where the fire originated.
Officials have not released any additional details at this time, including the estimated cost of damage.
