Firefighters are on the scene of an apartment building fire in the western Iowa town of Sloan.

The call came in shortly before 10 a.m. A Woodbury County Sheriff’s deputy says the top floor of the structure was engulfed in flames when he arrived.

The deputy says two residents jumped to safety from a second floor window of the four-apartment, two-story structure. Heavy smoke from the fire forced residents of a second building next door to evacuate.

The sheriff’s department says a total of 15 people have been displaced by the fire from the two buildings. A church has been opened as a shelter for the residents and the American Red Cross is also assisting at the scene.

There’s no report on any injuries at this time.
