One resident said a woman woke him up, and he began knocking on doors to wake up other neighbors as well.
"I just tried to get everyone to come down and come out, then I called 911," said neighbor Robert Hudson. "Flames started coming out the window by the time the fire department got here. There was a lot of explosions and things going on, so by the time they got here, it was pretty much engulfed in fire upstairs."

Several units were destroyed in the fire.
