Seven people have been chased from their homes by the fire that raced through a northeast Dallas apartment building last night.
Just before 6:30 p.m. flames erupted through the roof of a two-story building at The Village Gate, a complex near Central Expressway and Caruth Haven.
Everyone had hurried out of the building even before fire crews arrived, some of them warned by neighbors who pounded on doors to alert residents.
Several units are heavily damaged from the flames, smoke and water, but no one was hurt
