Officials said the fire was contained to a single room inside one apartment, and no other residents were displaced.
One person died. The occupant of the apartment where the fire started was found deceased at the scene.
The Louisville Fire Arson Bureau determined the fire was caused by smoking while using oxygen, according to Louisville Fire Department.
