Two Dallas firefighters were injured and 65 residents were displaced after crews battled a five-alarm fire at a senior living facility Thursday, officials say.

Just after 6:30 p.m., Dallas Fire-Rescue (DFR) crews responded to call for an "automatic fire alarm" at the Serenity Apartments in the 3300 block of Dilido Road on the city's northeast side.

When crews arrived, firefighters saw smoke coming from the second floor of the three-story building and then immediately upgraded the response to a working second-alarm fire.

A short time later, the blaze was again upgraded to a four-alarm fire, which means about 100 firefighters were dispatched to the scene.
