Houston-Area Fire Leaves 16 Apartments Damaged, Destroyed

Officials say fire has damaged or destroyed at least 16 units of a Houston-area apartment complex and one resident suffered minor injuries.

Emergency responders battled the flames Tuesday at the complex in northwest Harris County but managed to put out most of the fire by dawn.

Authorities say one person was slightly injured while breaking windows to help other residents get to safety.

Officials are trying to determine what sparked the blaze at the two-story complex.

The American Red Cross was helping displaced residents.
