The fire was located in the kitchen of the second floor apartment, he said, with the stove, hood, cabinets and walls in flames.
The blaze was quickly extinguished, Gatto said.
All the home's occupants were safely outside when firefighters arrived, and no injuries were reported.

The fire is under investigation by Deputy Fire Marshal Broderick Sawyer.
