PHOTOS: A fire late Sunday night at a south Springfield apartment complex drew a large response from emergency crews.

Just before midnight Sunday, a fire broke out at the Pebblecreek Apartment complex at 2835 S Fort Avenue. It’s a multi-building complex between W. Sunset Street and W. Battlefield Road.

A witness on scene sent Ozarks First several videos and pictures, showing the roof of one of the buildings fully engulfed in flames. Multiple agencies were also on the scene of the fire.

Firefighters had several ladders propped up to try and reach the upper floors of the building.

Crews could also be seen using ladder pipe to douse the roof of one building, which was heavily involved. It’s unclear how many buildings were damaged.

Medical personnel were also on scene, although it is unclear if there are any injuries.

There is no word yet on a cause of the fire.
