Nine people are looking for another place to live after a two-alarm fire damaged eight apartments Thursday morning in Las Vegas.

No injuries are reported in the 6:15 a.m. fire at the Rancho Verde Apartments on Martin Luther King Boulevard near U.S. 95.

Firefighters think an electrical malfunction in wiring sparked the fire in a wall separating two apartments.

Investigators ruled the fire accidental and estimated damage at $200,000.

Fire officials say building management and the American Red Cross are helping the people displaced by the fire.
