(KMZA)--One person was injured in an apartment fire this past weekend in Seneca.

Nemaha County Emergency Management Director Russel Lierz said the fire was reported around 8:40 Friday evening in the 800 block of North Street.

Lierz said the individual, whose name has not been released, was life flighted to the Burn Center at the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City.

Lierz said another individual was displaced because of smoke filling their apartment. A hotel room was provided for the night, and the individual was able to return to their apartment the next day after the smoke had cleared out.

Lierz said the Seneca Fire Department did an excellent job of containing the fire so that it did not affect the other apartments in the building.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
