MIDVALE — One person was injured and four families were displaced from their homes after a Midvale apartment building caught fire early Friday, according to the Unified Fire Authority.

Capt. Tony Barker with UFA said at approximately 2:30 a.m., crews were called to the apartment complex at 60 W. Inglenook Drive. They arrived to see smoke and flames, which started in a first-floor unit and worked their way up to the second floor, ultimately damaging a part of the roof.  Crews evacuated the entire building.

Four families were displaced from their units, and the flames impacted a total of eight units.

Barker said the cause was determined to be a light that caught some clothes on fire.
