Crews contained the fire to just the one apartment, which was destroyed inside and out.
Investigators believe the fire began when a 9-year-old dropped a lit candle. Everyone inside the apartment made it out safely.
But a total of 13 children and three adults are without a place to stay.
Firefighters say this should serve as a reminder of the dangers of leaving candles and matches near children.
