A neighbor said, "I smelled something burning and went outside to see if I could see anything. That's when I noticed my neighbor's apartment to the right of my apartment was on fire. I didn't even have my phone to call and all I could really do is bang on doors to alert my neighbors who were home to get out and to call 9-1-1."
