Video provided by a resident shows how smoke poured out from a unit, and another angle shows water dripping from a balcony.

Residents said it all started at around 9 a.m.

"I was sleeping, and then I woke up to a single alarm. And then I didn't think too much of it because the alarm didn't continue," one woman who has lived in the building for two years said. "And then after 10 or 15 minutes the alarms came back on consistently, and then I realized something was happening, so I went downstairs using the stairs, 36 flights."

Residents, including children and pets, waited outside until emergency crews cleared the scene.
