The East Orange fire broke out at around 9 a.m., officials said.

EAST ORANGE -- No one was injured, but at least one unit was damaged during a fire inside a 16-story condominium building Monday morning, authorities confirmed.

East Orange firefighters responded to the scene of the fire, which broke out in a fifth floor unit in the Prospect Street complex, at around 9 a.m., a city spokeswoman said Monday. The fire was quickly put out, and the fire was contained to that unit, she said. No residents outside that unit were displaced, she said.

The floors below the fire sustained water damage, authorities said. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but it may have started in the kitchen, officials said.

Scorch marks could be seen from the outside of several windows on the condo tower.
