About 10 firefighters could be seen on the roof of the structure, where the fire appeared to be concentrated. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
A few elderly people were seen being escorted out of the building. One person was placed on a gurney, but her condition was not immediately available.
The smoke could be seen in far north Dallas, about 10 miles away.
