The cause of a Wednesday afternoon apartment fire on West End Avenue is being blamed on underage mischief. A “pre-teen” playing with a lighter caused heavy damage to an apartment in Complex C of Westside Manor, according to McMinnville Fire Department Chief Kevin Lawrence. An adjacent apartment suffered water damaged in efforts to keep the fire from spreading.
