Fire officials said a cat had to be rescued, and 10 people have found temporary housing after a blaze in Cambridge Saturday afternoon.
Brad Churchill, the deputy chief for Cambridge Fire, said the fire was in a main floor bedroom, and caused significant heat and fire damage.
Regional police said one person was treated for smoke inhalation.
Damage is estimated at around $100,000.
The cause was deemed to be electrical.
Churchill is reminding residents not to use extension cords as permanent wiring.
He added working smoke alarms helped in getting these 10 people out in time, and is also wanting residents to check and make sure there are working smoke alarms on all floors of your home.
A family living in the upper unit of the home is now living in a hotel while looking for a place to stay.
Holly Taylor started a GoFundMe for her cousin Jodi Beck and her family.
"Everyone including pets are safe and sound but their home has been destroyed and they are currently staying in a hotel," Taylor wrote in the post.
Finding a new home is a priority and Taylor has set a donation target of $3,000 to help the Beck family cover first and last month's rent.
"At this time I am unsure of what is needed item and clothing wise but I do know that they will be needing to find a place as quickly as possible."
