A resident told reporters a space heater in her apartment caught fire.

"When I got up I went to the kitchen and I just couldn't believe that my space heater was on fire. It was on a low flame. I called 911. As soon as the fire went up more, I tried to get water, I just ran out. I grabbed my child and ran out."

The woman said she left without shoes, a jacket or money.
