A futon caught on fire this morning at 29 Tracy Ave., but the apartment was not damaged.
The initial alarm came in around 10 a.m. and city firefighters responded.
Firefighters found the futon outside the apartment, where the resident had dragged it.
According to Lt. Jay Steinbrenner, the resident was apparently smoking on the futon when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he tried putting the fire out himself. He apparently tried a few times, according ot Steinbrenner.
"This apparently went on for an hour and a half," Steinbrenner said.
When the futon flamed up pretty good, the resident dragged it outside and called 9-1-1.
