BELLEVUE, Wash. —

A two-alarm fire that ripped through 10 units in a suburban apartment complex was accidental, fire investigators said.

The fire displaced about 30 residents Monday night.

Investigators said it was started by cooking oil left unattended on a stove.

No injuries were reported, although two firefighters were treated for dehydration.

The fire in the three-story Central Park Apartments in the Crossroads area was reported shortly after 7:30 p.m.

About 40 firefighters had the blaze knocked down in a little more than a half hour.

The Red Cross said 10 other apartments in the complex were empty, so the displaced people were being allowed to stay in them.
