Once firefighters arrived, they found a large volume of smoke and fire spreading on the roof of the structure, leading responding crews to call a working fire and a second alarm.
Firefighters started to attack the fire from both outside and inside the structure while conducting a search and evacuation of the premises, the fire department said. A ladder truck was used to attack the fire from an elevated position and bring the fire under control.
Fire crews remained throughout the night to make sure there is no continued spread of heat and fire in involved areas.
Fire investigators remained on scene to determine the cause of the fire.
Thirty-six occupants in the apartment building have been evacuated and will be displaced for an undetermined amount of time.
There were no injuries reported because of the blaze.
