The Madison Fire Department said that a kitchen fire caused damage to a 24-unit apartment building on Madison's north side Wednesday afternoon.

Firefighters arrived at 58 Northridge Terrace around 2:30 p.m. and found some smoke in a hallway and a small fire burning in the kitchen of a second-floor apartment.

Eric Dahl, public information officer with the Madison Fire Department, said the fire was under control within eight minutes of the fire department's arrival.

A fan was used to remove smoke from the building. No injuries were reported.

The Red Cross arrived at the scene to assist three occupants living in the apartment.

Officials said the fire, which damaged the kitchen in one apartment and caused smoke and water damage to nearby apartments, caused approximately $25,000 in damage.

Fire officials said the cause of the fire is under investigation.
