ARLINGTON — Four people were forced out of their homes Wednesday evening by a fire at an apartment complex.

Firefighters were called about 5:40 p.m. to an apartment complex in the 500 block of N. MacLeod Ave., Arlington spokeswoman Kristin Banfield said.

No injuries were reported.

Flames charred one unit and smoke damaged two others, Banfield said. Local Red Cross volunteers assisted four people displaced by the fire.

Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s investigators Wednesday night were working to determine what caused the fire.
