MONTICELLO, Ind. (WLFI) - Firefighters rescued two people during an apartment fire in Monticello Thursday night.

The fire broke out around 9:30 p.m. at the Olde Mill Apartments along Spencer Street.

According to the Monticello Fire Department, the fire started on the second floor of the building. Two people suffered minor injuries and two dogs died in the fire.

Due to heavy smoke and water damage, nine people living in the building were displaced. Crews believe a discarded cigarette in a couch, fueled by medical oxygen in the apartment started the fire.
