HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Fire engulfed an apartment complex in southwest Houston today.

It happened at the Bellerive condominiums near Reims and Bellerive. Firefighters got the call a little before 6pm and at one point, went defensive.

Ten units were affected, but no injuries were reported.

One resident told Eyewitness News that his dog "King" was trapped inside and firefighter Clayton Neal didn't hesitate to go in and bring him out.

A second dog also was rescued from the fire.
