HOLLAND, MI -- An apartment building fire in Holland displaced 10 people and fire officials said a cat was missing.

The fire happened just before 4 p.m. Friday, Feb. 18 at 440 Stratford Way.

Holland firefighters said they responded to the building, containing four units, after receiving a report of smoke coming from the structure.

They determined that everyone was out of the building.

Fire officials said high winds hampered efforts to contain the fire and it spread quickly. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

A firefighter had a minor injury but was able to return to duty.

Firefighters rescued three cats from an apartment but said another cat, in a different unit, could not be found.

Fire crews were at the scene for about three hours.
