CENTENNIAL, Colo. (CBS4)- A fire that forced people from their homes Wednesday night appears to have been caused by an overturned oil lamp.

People living in 24 units were evacuated. Two units below where the fire ignited were damaged by water.
There are still some electrical issues with apartments damaged by the fire. No one was hurt.
