DALLAS — Residents from multiple apartments units are being assisted after an early morning fire in the Old East Dallas area.
The Dallas Fire-Rescue Department says they got multiple calls about a fire at The Cornerstone Apartments on Gaston Avenue. First responders went to the scene at around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.
When they got there, the DFR says the fire was already in its advanced stages. They were able to put it out by about 2:30 a.m.
The fire affected 10 apartment units. According to DFR, The American Red Cross has been called in to help the residents that were impacted.
According to the DFR, the fire came from unattended cooking in a kitchen on the second floor of the apartment.
Multiple sources tell WFAA that one person was taken to a hospital. Sources at the scene say it was a woman that was suffering from smoke inhalation, but the DFR said via email that a resident was taken for reasons not related to the fire.
A firefighter was also transported after getting overheated, but has since been released.
