CLEVELAND — A fire that broke out in an apartment building in Cleveland's Woodland Hills neighborhood left one dog dead and residents displaced, according to Cleveland Fire.
Around 8 a.m., crews were called to the area of Woodland Avenue and East 115th Street for a fire at a two-story apartment building.
Once on scene, firefighters began attacking the flames and initiating a search and rescue because it was an occupied building.
The fire was extinguished and all residents were able to get out of the building safely, but a dog inside of the apartment building was killed, according to Cleveland Fire.
The cause of the fire was determined to be accidental and was caused by a faulty air conditioner unit, according to the fire department.
Residents of the apartment building are being assisted by the American Red Cross.
