More Details:
One resident, Duran, spoke to FOX 2 about the fire.
"The fire alarm kept going off," he said. "We got in the hallway and you could see the smoke. You could see the smoke coming out of the vents. I go down to the ninth floor and you couldn't even see out the window of the ninth floor – it was that black."
Duran, who lives on the 10th floor said the east side of the building was where the fire was located when he was evacuated.
"You could see that there was fire all over the place. A man was hanging out of the window and they had to evacuate him with the boom on the fire truck," he said. "They did a good job, they was fast, efficient and they was coming up the stairs when I was going out."
He said that at least two residents were taken by ambulance from the scene.
