Fire crews battled the blaze and smoke as the fire spread to two neighboring condos.
No one was home in the condo where the fire started, but a cleaning person who was in a nearby unit smelled the smoke and called 911.
Neighbors said they ran outside to see what was going on.
"I actually just heard an explosion, and the next thing I knew when I was walking my dog, there was smoke everywhere so it was really scary,” said Nancy Feldman.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
