BATON ROUGE — Firefighters put out an apartment fire on Lee Drive near Liberty High School on Friday.

Baton Rouge Fire officials said the fire was coming from the roof of a building at 5 East Apartments. When units arrived at 2:58 p.m., the second-floor apartment's sole occupant was waiting outside unharmed. The fire was put out by 3:10 p.m., officials added.

The fire, which started in one of the home's bedrooms, was extinguished before it spread to neighboring units.

Fire investigators said the fire was incidental and the result of contractors were using a torch to repair the roof.
