PHOENIX — Three people, including a young child, were taken to the hospital after an apartment fire in west Phoenix overnight.
Fire crews from multiple cities were dispatched to the fire near 75th Avenue and Indian School Road late Monday night. When they arrived at the scene, they found heavy fire and smoke from units on the first and second floors of an apartment complex.

More than a dozen apartment residents were displaced due to the fire and are now being helped by the Phoenix Crisis Response teams and the Red Cross.
No other injuries have been reported.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
