An electrical problem is being blamed for a fire reported late Monday night at a Lewis-Clark State College apartment.

The Lewiston Fire Department responded at 11 p.m. to a report of smoke at the College Place apartments in the 800 block of Fourth Street. The fire is believed to have started in the attic above a third-floor apartment, and ‘fire stops’ and sprinklers kept the flames confined to a small area.

No injuries were reported, but the building was evacuated for the night.
