According to the Cumberland Fire Department, six adults and a child were displaced early Tuesday when fire broke out in a ground-floor apartment of a two-story residence at 619 Baker Street. No injuries were reported in the 5:07 a.m. blaze where first-arriving firefighters found smoke and flames coming from the first floor apartment occupied by three adults and a child. The Cumberland Times News reports those occupants, plus three adults who resided in a second-floor apartment, escaped the fire without injury — thanks to a smoke alarm that activated in the apartment where the fire originated in the living room. The cause of the fire was ruled accidental and attributed to an electrical charger to an air mattress, according to Capt. Chris Ratliff, the department's interim fire marshal. The loss to the property owned by Zulfiqar Minhas was estimated at $100,000 in building and contents. The property was not insured. A basement apartment was unoccupied. The displaced tenants were provided emergency assistance by the American Red Cross.
