Woman has life-threatening burns after man sets fire to Dallas apartment, officials say

The fire happened at the Villas of Sorrento apartments.

DALLAS — A fire broke out at a Dallas apartment complex early Thursday, damaging multiple units, officials said.

The fire happened at the Villas of Sorrento apartments in the 3100 block of Stag Road, near South Great Trinity Forest Way and Bonnie View Road.

A woman and her son were among the people who were caught in the fire, but no injuries have been confirmed, officials said. Another man had to reportedly jump from a window to escape the fire.

The victims’ conditions were not available Thursday morning.

One building was impacted by the fire. Two units on a top floor and two units on a bottom floor were damaged in the fire.

“I look up and I seen the lady come running out the building on fire, my first instinct was to pull over, get out of my truck and help her,” said Tiashmon Clark, a witness. “She got on the grass over here and started rolling. I pulled my sweater off and started putting it out with my sweater.”
