A woman faces felony arson charges for setting the fire that displaced 20 North Dallas apartment residents Tuesday afternoon, firefighters said.
Firefighters began battling the flames at the Sutton Place Apartments just after 4 p.m. Tuesday.
The 2-alarm fire was extinguished after about two hours, said Jason Evans, Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman. No firefighters were hurt, and a resident inside the third-floor apartment that caught fire was able to escape unharmed.
The damage left 13 units uninhabitable, displacing 20 people, Evans said.
Investigators determined the fire was set by a woman who had gotten in a fight with the person who escaped the fire.
The woman faces felony arson charges, Evans said.
No further information was released.
