No one was hurt, but seven adults and seven children were evacuated from two apartments, at 144 W. Mayfair Ave., because of smoke and water damage, the Red Cross said.
The fire is believed to have been started by exposed wires, a fire official said.
Red Cross volunteers provided meals to the families.
