Residents on the first floor of the building also needed to leave their homes due to the fire.

"We got out with our lives," said Patricia Walters, a resident displaced by the fire. "We're all alive, we're all safe … and that's what matters."

No additional information, including the fire's cause or estimated damages, was immediately released.
