Quick response from the Belleville and Mohawk fire departments saved an older residential building from major damage Sunday morning.
Around 9:25 a.m., crews were called to the building at 4379 Old Highway 2, between Grass Boulevard and Point Anne Road to tend to the blaze.
The fire started in the south east corner of the unit above the ceiling in the attic space.
Fire crews from Belleville Station 3, along with tanker support from Mohawk and Tyeninaga Fire managed to contain the fire to the ceiling area of one of the three apartments inside the old metal clad building.
Belleville fire crews remained on scene from when the call originated until the scene was released at 12:20 p.m. once overhaul was completed.
Water did damage parts of the apartment.
The cause of the blaze was determined to be electrical in nature and not suspicious.
The damage is estimated at approximately $25,000.
There were no injuries.
