When SkyEye arrived at the fire, the roof of the apartment complex was seen engulfed in the flames. It's unclear what sparked the fire, but a total of 16 units were damaged in the blaze.
A woman told ABC13 she wasn't aware of the fire until her brother called her.
"I was coming in, and I heard the fire trucks. Me and my family, we started walking around, and we came around, and it look like it was her (sister's) apartment. So I jumped out and was calling her name," the woman's brother recalled.
While the Houston Fire Department said no firefighters or civilians were injured, one firefighter was treated for dehydration.
