One person has been transported to the hospital after reports of a fire at an apartment complex in North Phoenix overnight.

Phoenix firefighters arrived at the apartment complex near 19th and Missouri avenues where they found smoke inside. Fortunately, no fire was found, but food on the stove was burning, creating the smoke.

A witness at the scene said the resident of the apartment was unresponsive when fire personnel brought him out. The man was taken to the hospital in critical condition after he suffered what appears to be a heart attack.
