West Fargo fire crews responded Monday to a second fire at the same address in one week.
According to Fire Chief Roy Schatschneider:
A next-door neighbor reported the fire at 511 West Main around 8:15 p.m.
The fire was contained to the back bedroom of one of only two apartments in the building. Schatschneider said a large amount of smoke poured through the building.
"Crews were able to knock it down in quite a short order," Schatschneider said.

No one was living in the apartment since a kitchen fire broke out on Sunday, Feb. 6.
He said the two fires were not related.
"The first one was strictly a cooking fire that got out of control, and this was in the back bedroom," Schatschneider said.
He suspects the cause of the most recent fire is electrical.
No one was injured.
