SACRAMENTO, Calif. --
A five-alarm fire broke out Wednesday morning at an apartment complex in south Sacramento.
The blaze, which started shortly after 7 a.m., damaged several units at 7283 Florin Mall Drive, just south of Florin Mall.
Black smoke billowed skyward and firefighters swarmed over the outside of the building in an effort to get a handle on the flames, which were being fanned by a breeze.
The fire appeared to be centered in the attic of a building that housed as many as 12 apartment units.
More than 60 firefighters were battling the fire. A truck sprayed water on the fire from above.
One resident suffered a sprained ankle, but it was unknown if anyone else was injured. Firefighters did a sweep of the building and found nobody trapped.
Several residents, many with tears in their eyes, stood huddled outside of the complex watching firefighters at work.
The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
More information about this developing story will be posted on KCRA.com as it becomes available.
