HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Houston firefighters worked for hours overnight, putting out a two-story apartment fire in southwest Houston.

Twelve units were destroyed at the two-story complex located on the corner of Bissonnet Street and Rampart.


No one was hurt and all residents were evacuated from the building. Those whose homes were not affected by the fire have since been allowed to go back inside.

Investigators are working to figure how the fire started.

The Red Cross is assisting several families who were displaced.
