The fire is at the Pallister Plaisance Apartments, a 12-story building at 888 Pallister Street, just east of the M-10/Lodge Freeway. Tenants told CBS News Detroit that they believe the fire started on the eighth floor. 

Detroit Fire and Rescue crews were called to the area at about 8:21 a.m.

"They did a good job. They were fast, efficient," one of the apartment building residents said about the response. "I really hope everybody's okay."
