One person was transported and several residents were displaced after an early morning fire broke out Friday in an Ellicott City apartment building.

Howard County Fire & EMS said they responded around 3:45 a.m. to a fire in the 3000 block of Milltowne Drive. The fire was placed under control about an hour later.

Several residents were displaced, and one was transported to a local hospital for evaluation. It’s unclear when the residents will be allowed back inside.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
