Firefighters battled a 3-alarm apartment fire Sunday evening for more than five hours, according to Dallas Fire-Rescue.
Officials with the department say all of the residents in the building were able to escape.
Firefighters were called around 7 p.m. in response to a fire in a third-floor unit at the Halston Apartments at 8850 Ferguson Road, officials said.
When firefighters arrived, they reported seeing heavy fire coming from the third-floor apartment and out of the roof. The incident escalated quickly, and all firefighters were pulled from inside of the building.
One woman was taken to a hospital for smoke inhalation, crews at the scene said.
Firefighters shifted to a defensive position as more crews arrived at the scene.
Officials said more than 65 firefighters and two dozen heavy apparatuses like ladder trucks were called to the scene to get the fire under control.
The cause of the fire has not been determined. There were a total of 42 units in the building, and crews are unsure how many people were displaced by the fire. The Red Cross is helping those who have been displaced, officials said.
