Firefighers say the 90-unit apartment complex was evacuated safely, and there were no reports of serious injuries.

Dispatchers said one minor injury was reported, a passerby taken to a hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation.

Fire crews were called to the Windermere Court complex in West Philadelphia shortly after 2:30 p.m. Monday, and the fire quickly worsened.

Deputy Chief Willy Williams said about 160 firefighters aided by 50 pieces of equipment battled the blaze. The fire was reported under control at 7:25 p.m.

Officials say 75 people were being given food and clothing at a Red Cross reception center, and those without a place to stay will be sheltered there overnight.
