No injuries were reported as a result of a fire at an Appleton apartment complex last night.
The Appleton Fire Department was called to the complex on Woodmere court at around 6:30 p.m. where they saw smoke and flames coming through a second-story window.
The lone occupant of that apartment was able to escape before crews arrived and took down the blaze.
The fire caused an estimated $40,000 in damage.
While the exact cause of the fire was not stated, the Appleton Fire Department is reminding residents to remain in the kitchen when food is cooking.
This is the third residential fire this holiday season in Appleton.
