When crews arrived, they found heavy fire and smoke coming from the back of a unit, according to Huber Heights Battalion Chief Jason Culham.
All people who lived in the complex were able to get out before firefighters arrived, and no one was hurt.
The fire extended into the attic and started to spread through the four-unit complex.
Culham said the cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
Power and gas had to be shut off to all four units, and all residents will have to find somewhere else to stay.
April Grubb lives in one of the apartments.
She said she had come home from work early after breaking her thumb and was headed to the emergency room when she noticed her apartment was smoky.
“Went to the back bedroom and the back bedroom window was busted and then flames just started flying up,” Grubb said.
She is left with only her dog and the clothes on her back.
“That’s enough for me right now, at least we are alive,” Grubb said.
The Red Cross was called to help the displaced residents.
