Residents of an apartment building in northeast Dallas were without homes late Wednesday when flames swept the two-story structure.
The fire was reported at 8:45 p.m. at the Knob Oaks Apartments, 9170 Forest Lane, said Jason Evans, spokesman for Dallas Fire-Rescue.
"When firefighters first arrived, they could see lots of fire coming from the first floor," Evans said. "They initially moved in for an offensive attack, but when the fire began to breach the roof, they put a third alarm on it and positioned themselves defensively."
One person who was treated for minor smoke inhalation declined to go to the hospital, Evans said. No other injuries were reported.
The number of people displaced by the fire was unclear late Wednesday, but all eight units in the building were "uninhabitable," Evans said. The American Red Cross, he added, was summoned to help the people.
The cause of the fire was still under investigation Thursday.
