A fire caused about $40,000 damage yesterday to an apartment inside a four-unit building in West Toledo.

The blaze started in the kitchen/dining room area in the apartment of Colin Capshaw on the first floor of the two-story building at 3801 Torrance Drive.

Denis Bembenek, a Toledo fire investigator, said the blaze was reported about 3:25 a.m. by someone inside the building.

The cause of the fire hasn't been determined but is suspicious in nature, the investigator said.
