What started out as a harmless April Fools Day prank  turned out to be anything but funny when the joke resulted in a fire at an apartment near a college campus Wednesday. Units from multiple fire departments were called to a fire  just west of Grand Valley State University in Michigan after an April Fools prank involving fireworks sent one apartment unit up in smoke, the Holland Sentinel reports. Four girls live in Apartment 4 of Building B of the Campus West Apartments. Fire officials said one of the girls threw a lit firework at a roommate; the firework landed in a laundry hamper, setting the contents on fire.

Fireworks: Fire officials said one of the apartment building's residents threw a lit firework at a roommate; the firework landed in a laundry hamper, setting the contents on fire . No one was hurt, Fox reports, and the girl is not expected to face charges. One of the girls' neighbors, Addison Walstra, 19, told the Sentinel that her neighbors came to her apartment and she had given them a fire extinguisher -- the units are not required to have fire extinguishers because they are townhomes. 'The fire was too big for [the extinguisher] so they told us to get out and then we knocked on everybody else's doors to get them out as well,' Walstra said, describing the moment her neighbors returned to her apartment to tell her they could not put out the fire. Firefighters arrived at around 9.30am and the building was evacuated. The fire was contained to the upper-level of the building, the Sentinel reports.

'[The residents] were lucky, we had a great response and everyone was able to make it out safely,' Pelton told MLive. Sarah Long, who lives in a neighboring apartment told MLive that she heard the smoke alarm and someone crying before residents told her and her roommates to leave the building. 'It's just an April Fools gone wrong..' Long said. 'It was supposed to be funny, and, now it's not.' The apartment residents are allowed to return to two of the six apartments in the building, WOOD-TV reports. The remaining students, except for Apartment 4's residents, are expected to be able to return later Wednesday.
