No injuries were reported, but some residents are displaced in the aftermath of an apartment fire early Friday morning in Southwest Detroit.

The fire was reported at about 12:24 a.m. in the 5400 block of Porter Street. A Detroit Fire Department spokesperson said the agency handled it as a two-alarm fire with a call for extra manpower, and crews left about 2:39 a.m. There was a rekindle call shortly before 4:45 a.m. and firefighters stayed on scene until about 6 a.m. 

Preliminary reports from the Detroit Fire Investigation Division believe the fire was due to arson and encourage anyone with information to reach out to the department's tip line.  

Officials say the fire began in the two vacant middle units and quickly spread throughout the building, hitting the homes of Michael Bennett and Michael Berres. Both residents were displaced.

"It's really badly damaged. There's a lot of smoke on my ceilings, on the floor, but I was kind of spared from the brunt of it. So, I feel a little bit lucky, but I still lost everything," said Bennett. "The smoke kept getting heavier and heavier. I was like, 'We've got to go.'"

"Everything's totaled, totaled. We lost everything," said Berres. "I was at work. My son called me last night and said the place was on fire."

CBS News Detroit spoke with the owner, who said he will try his best to rebuild, but the damage is extensive. The fire also spread to a neighboring home, with the owner saying it caused significant damage to the outdoor siding and insulation.

"I had my book bag from my job and the clothes I'm in now, and I stood out across the street and watched everything of my life go away," said Bennett.

"We have to start over; we have to start from scratch. The most important thing is that my child's taken care of. Everything else is replaceable," said Berres.
