VIDEO: Two people have been hospitalized for smoke inhalation and burns following a large fire that broke out early Thursday morning at an apartment complex on Detroit’s west side.

The fire broke out at the Russell Woods apartments on Webb Street around 5 a.m.

By 5:30 a.m., large flames could be seen emanating through the roof of at least one building in the complex and appeared to be fully engulfed.

Firefighters responded aggressively to the fire after receiving initial reports that residents may still be trapped inside.

The fire has since been extinguished and the cause remains under investigation.

A man and a woman, both in their 50s, were hospitalized as a result of the fire. One firefighter also suffered an ankle injury, Local 4 learned.

The American Red Cross was on the scene to assist and help find temporary housing for four families who have been displaced.
