Everyone inside was able to evacuate and there were no reported injuries.

"I was outside on the balcony and I was talking to the young couple that stayed in the apartment. They were sleeping, didn't know what happened. Opened the door and it was a bunch of smoke," one resident said. "I asked if anybody else was in the apartment. They told me 'no' and I was like 'we got to let everybody know we got to get out.'"

Police have not released any information on the cause of the fire.
