Several people have been treated and hospitalized for smoke inhalation following a large apartment fire<\/a> in Fort Worth<\/a> early Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Firefighters are still at the Mariposa Park Apartments in the 6700 block of\u00a0Calmont Avenue monitoring hot spots after spending hours putting the fire out, said Craig Trojack, a spokesman for the Fort Worth Fire Department. The department estimates between 50 to 100 people have been displaced by the fire, but it’s still unclear, Trojack said.<\/p>\n

“We’re waiting to hear back from property management to get those accurate numbers of how many actual units are there, and how many people,” he said.<\/p>\n

The fire had already spread through the attic of the garden-style apartment complex as fire crews arrived at about 5:30 a.m., requiring a second-alarm to be called,\u00a0Trojack said. A third-alarm was called about 35 minutes later.<\/p>\n

A firefighter and two people were treated at the scene for smoke inhalation. The firefighter was able to assist with the fire after receiving medical assistance.<\/p>\n

Trojack said two people were taken to local hospitals for smoke inhalation as well. Their current condition is unknown.<\/p>\n

A majority of the complex was left extensively damaged by the fire,\u00a0Trojack said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A shelter has been set up at R.D. Evans Community Center at 3242 Lackland Road to help those impacted by the fire, said Winston Henvey, a spokesman for the American Red Cross North Texas Region.<\/p>\n

“Our hearts go out to the residents who were affected by the multifamily fire this morning,”\u00a0Henvey said.<\/p>\n

Since Sunday, five firefighters in Dallas-Fort Worth have been injured while responding to fires. A burst of flames<\/a> hospitalized two Fort Worth firefighters with burn injuries Monday night while fighting a fire at a home in the 7600 block of Crowley Road. They are both listed in stable condition, fire officials said. \u00a0<\/p>\n

A Dallas Fire-Rescue firefighter <\/a>was taken to a hospital after receiving a non-life-threatening injury to their arm while trying to put out flames at a house fire Sunday evening in the 6900 block of Echo Bluff Drive.<\/p>\n

Two Dallas firefighters sustained non-life-threatening burn injuries<\/a> Sunday morning while battling a blaze at an East Oak Cliff home in the 4600 block of\u00a0Wadsworth Drive.<\/p>\n
