What we know:

Officials said it was around 5 p.m. Sunday when firefighters responded to the report of a smell of smoke in the house. A 911 caller reported that there was a smell of smoke in the unit next door -- and that no one answered the door when they tried knocking at the door. 

The first arriving firefighters found a side-by-side unit with a light haze of smoke inside the building and activating smoke detectors. The neighbor was unaware if anyone else was inside the building.
