About a dozen people have been hurt in an early morning apartment building fire on Detroit’s west side. The blaze was reported around 3:30 a.m. Friday and left the five-story building heavily damaged. Fire Chief James Harris tells The Detroit News that 11 people suffered smoke inhalation, bumps and bruises and were taken to hospitals. Twenty others have been displaced from their homes. At least some sections of the building’s roof appeared to have collapsed. Harris described the building as a “total loss.” It wasn't immediately clear what caused the fire.
