Fire at Dallas high-rise apartment complex

DALLAS — A fire has broken out a high-rise apartment complex in southwest Dallas.

There were no immediate reports of injuries, but some elderly residents were being evacuated.

Thick black smoke was billowing from the 11-story structure Wednesday afternoon. But it appeared that firefighters were gaining control of the blaze.

About 10 firefighters were seen on the roof of the building. The smoke from the fire could be seen in far north Dallas, about 10 miles away from the building.

One of the people evacuating the building was put on a gurney, but her condition was not immediately available.

No other details were immediately available.
