Firefighters are investigating a 3-alarm apartment fire in Dallas that sent residents out into the night.

The fire broke out before midnight on May 16 in the 4000 block of Hawthorne Avenue, just outside Highland Park.

By the time firefighters arrived at the two-story apartment building the fire had spread to the attic and flames were shooting from the roof. Rescuers began banging on doors to wake residents and get them out, while simultaneously mounting an offensive fire attack.
