  "We had the fire completely under control 40 minutes after we arrived on scene," WFD Battalion Chief Kenneth Williamson said this morning.
  
  Williamson said the Clark County Fire Department also was called to the fire.
  
  "We called the county and when they responded, they asked what we needed," Williamson said."I said manpower and they sent a large number of their personnel."
  
  The Winchester Fire Department itself threw a lot of manpower at the fire, Williamson said."We had 38 firefighters respond from all three stations and callbacks," he said."We had 21 callbacks.We sent two engines, an engine aerial, a squad truck and five ambulances."
  
  Williamson said 11 people were treated at the scene for smoke inhalation and two others were transported to Clark Regional Medical Center, he said.
  
  ...
  Williamson said this morning the cause of the fire was a familiar, if disappointing, one.
  
  "It was caused by children playing with a cigarette lighter," he said.
  
  And it forced the residents of the building to seek alternative shelter for the night.
  
  "All the apartments received smoke damage and the electricity to the building was cut off," Williamson said."When that happens, we have to close the building."
  
  According to spokespersons for the Winchester Salvation Army and the American Red Cross in Lexington this morning, neither of those groups was called for assistance in finding the residents shelter.
  
  ...
  Maintenance workers for the company were on the scene early this morning, Williamson said, and the owners were expected there this morning.
