News Center 7 crews saw fire coming from the top of one apartment complex.
Hatcher confirmed that the flames were in the attic portion of a building.
There have been no reports of injuries to residents at this time.
“We’ve had a couple guys (firefighters) that had to come out, getting a little overheated, but once they got cooled off, they were ready to go,” Hatcher said.
Hatcher added that the toughest part of this fire is the current temperature outside and the location of the flames.
