Five Left Homeless After Early-Morning Apartment Fire

Five people are homeless after an early-morning apartment fire in Dallas.

Firefighters were called to the Mayan Palms Apartments on the 7400 block of Hunnicut Road just after 5 a.m. Monday.

When they arrived, heavy fire was visible on the first and second floor of the two-story apartment building.   Firefighters were able to contain the fire to just a few residences, though other homes did suffer smoke and water damage.

The Dallas chapter of the American Red Cross is assisting at least five people, including children and an infant, who were left homeless after the fire.

No injuries have been reported.
