     Nik Seitz had just gotten home from dropping off his 13 month old daughter for a visit with her grandparents.
     "I smelled smoke as soon as I entered the building, but it was like someone had a woodburner kind of smell," he says.
     He says he looked around - even went outside - and saw nothing.
     A little while later, his smoke alarms went off.
     "I went down in the basement and the wall that I shared with the other neighbor, I saw smoke coming out."
     Terri Sanders, whose mother, son, and brother live next door to Seitz, says they saw flames from his balcony.
     Fire investigators now say that is where the fire started - on Seitz's balcony at 10 Poplar Street.
     The fire then spread to an adjacent balcony, and into the common attics of the rowhomes, spreading quickly.
     The Red Cross has been helping the 12 people left homeless.
     Jessica Wigley says, "We've covered people for food, clothing and shelter. We were there last night on scene making sure everybody was taken care of and we followed up with a lot of people today."
     Brooke Johnson says clothes and furniture can be replaced, but there was one folder she prayed would make it through the fire. It did.
     "My birth certificate, my daughter's birth certificate, my ultrasound pictures, her first baby pictures, all that stuff."
     Fire investigators may know where the fire started, but they still don't know how it happened.
