WARREN — Warren firefighters responded to a fire in the basement of an apartment building on 10 Mile Road east of Hoover Road Monday morning.

At 10:22 a.m. on Sept. 19, Warren firefighters were dispatched to a report of a fire at the Cove on 10 apartment complex. When they arrived, firefighters found light smoke coming from the basement, Warren Fire Commissioner Skip McAdams said.

Once firefighters made their way into the basement of the building, the fire was reportedly brought under control within about 10 minutes. There were no injuries. Eight units in the building suffered smoke damage, McAdams said.

The investigation is ongoing. However, a preliminary investigation shows that the fire started in a vent near a clothes dryer, McAdams said.

Warren police had the westbound lanes of 10 Mile Road and one eastbound lane closed at the apartment complex while firefighters were on the scene.
