East Lansing fire causes $100,000 in damage.
 A fire Saturday night in East Lansing caused $100,000 in damages, says the East Lansing Fire Department.
The blaze, which broke out Feb. 12 at Capitol Villa Apartments, 1708 E. Grand River Avenue, was contained by personnel from East Lansing, Lansing and Meridian Township. Most of the damage was confined to a single apartment unit, though an adjacent unit also suffered smoke damage.
The East Lansing department believes nine of the 11 apartment units should be back in use today. The investigation into the cause of the fire should be complete in "the next two days," according to a department statement.
No injuries were reported from the fire, but firefighters did have to rescue four people who were trapped by smoke in a common hallway.
