Eleven Oceanside residents and one cat were displaced after fire damaged an apartment complex Saturday, it was reported.

Crews were dispatched shortly after midnight Saturday to a two-story complex at 511 Canyon Drive near Lomita Street, where a first-story unit was fully engulfed in flames, the Oceanside Fire Department told Fox5.

The blaze was threatening to extend to other units until crews positioned hoses and knocked it down in under 15 minutes. One resident was attended to by medics and released for reported smoke inhalation. No further injuries were reported, fire officials told the station.

The Red Cross was working to provide additional support for the 11 displaced residents, the station reported.

The cause of the fire was under investigation.
