The fire started around 1 a.m. Sunday at the Highlands of West Chester on Fountains Boulevard, WCPO reported.
The fire was located on the second floor and flames were extending to the roof, West Chester Fire Chief David Pickering said.
There were initial reports a man was trapped inside the building but he walked out on his own, WCPO said. He refused medical attention.
Crews from other departments were called to help battle the blaze and at least two apartment units were damaged.
“I don’t have an estimate on damage,” West Chester Fire Chief David Pickering said. “There are eight units in the building.”
It is unclear how many people are displaced.
No firefighters were injured. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
