One person has died in a late night apartment fire in Mesquite. A firefighter was also seriously burned, according to officials.
Just past midnight, 911 callers reported seeing a fire at an apartment complex near La Prada and Pinehurst, close to the Mesquite-Dallas line.
Mesquite firefighters found the blaze was already through the roof of a two-story building and commanders almost immediately added a second alarm to get more manpower on-site.
The fire was burning furiously and it was quite a fight to get it tapped out.
One person was killed and a Mesquite firefighter was rushed to the hospital with burns. The building is heavily damaged and dozens of people were chased from their apartments.
