DALLAS – A fire broke out on the roof of a high-rise apartment building west of downtown Dallas on Wednesday, but no serious injuries were reported.
The fire erupted in an air conditioning unit on the top of the 11-story Indigo apartment tower, sending thick plumes of black smoke into the air that could be seen for miles.

The building was the scene of a December 2005 fire that killed one resident.
