Firefighters battled a fire Tuesday afternoon at a high-rise apartment complex in Oak Lawn.
Smoke could be seen wafting into the air and flames were shooting out of a 14th-floor apartment as firefighters responded to the blaze about 5:10 p.m. at the Terrace House apartments in the 3100 block of Maple Avenue, near the Katy Trail.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze a short time later, Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans said.

No one was in the apartment where the fire started, and no injuries were reported, according to Dallas Fire-Rescue.
The fire was contained to one apartment, but the apartment directly below it was rendered uninhabitable from water damage. Affected residents were moved to vacant units in the building.
Investigators are working to determine how the fire began.
