Horrible: Residents Seen Jumping From Dallas Apartment Building Engulfed In Flames!

Several people were forced to jump from their third-floor apartment after a fire erupted at a complex in Far East Dallas. One person even tossed a baby to safety. The fire at the Meadows at Ferguson apartments started around 7 a.m. Wednesday. It quickly grew to two alarms with intense flames and thick black smoke visible from highway cameras near Interstate 635 and Centerville Road.

Dallas Fire-Rescue officials said six residents, including the baby, had to jump from the third floor to escape the fire. Other residents grabbed mattresses from a downstairs apartment to help cushion their fall.

Two residents were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A firefighter also suffered burns to his shoulder and arm and was taken to the hospital, DFR officials said. He was released after a few hours and is expected to make a full recovery. Dallas Fire-Rescue says the building was so badly damaged it had to be torn down, and the cause will likely never be known.
