One resident was taken to a hospital for a minor injury and smoke inhalation.Firefighters said 'multiple' residents have been displaced from their building due to fire, smoke and water damage. While automatic sprinklers slowed the fire, the water also led to damage to units below where the fire took place.In a statement Sunday afternoon, firefighters said the cause has been determined to be 'accidental' due to a candle being unattended.According to the John Stewart Company, the building's manager, the Marina Tower Annex has 57 one-bedroom apartments for seniors.
