Boyertown Area Fire & Rescue crews made quick work of an apartment fire Thursday in Colebrookdale Township.
The first crew responded about 9:20 p.m. to the fire at 133 Sawmill Road. Eastern Berks Regional police were already there when firefighters arrived, said G. Jeffrey Bealer, public information officer.
The fire was in a self-standing apartment separated from the main residence by a breezeway. Crews quickly put out most of the flames and worked to contain the fire.

No one was injured.
The fire is under investigation by the township fire marshal, but there are indications it started due to a malfunctioning kerosene heater in the apartment, Bealer said.
