Flames could be seen emanating from a courtyard in the building’s mid-section, and firefighters were focusing their efforts on the third floor. At one point, a team of firefighters took a saw and cut through the roof as plumes of smoke billowed past.



Several ambulances were also on scene and one person was being carried on a stretcher. It was not immediately known if any residents were in the building, though a group of residents were keeping watch in the parking lot of Brick Beach III, which neighbors the building to the north.
