Several residents of a DeKalb County apartment complex have been displaced after fire ripped through the building early Thursday morning.

The fire started around 1 a.m. at the Oak Tree Villas apartment complex on Clubhouse Drive in Decatur.

When crews arrived on scene, the top story of the complex was completely engulfed in flames. Dispatchers initially received a call of a person trapped inside but it is unclear if anyone was inside the building.
