TULSA - Over 24 apartment units were damaged or destroyed in a fire Sunday afternoon, officials said.

Fire crews responded to a balcony on fire at the Observation Points apartments near South 129th East Avenue and 41st Street just after 2:45 p.m., officials said.

Firefighters say it looks like the fire started on the top floor or in the attic. They say every apartment on the top floor was destroyed by the fire.

There is water damage to every apartment on the first and second floors, officials said.

No injuries were reported.

Red Cross teams will work with residents to provide assistance with immediate needs such as a place to stay, food and clothing as needed, Red Cross Spokeswoman Donita Quesnel said.

The cause is under investigation.
