DECATUR, Ala. (WHNT) — Decatur Fire and Rescue (DFR) says an apartment building was evacuated Saturday night due to smoke from a mechanical fire.

DFR said crews responded to the Presbyterian Towers building on Presbyterian Drive around 8:04 p.m. Saturday. The department said upon arrival crews found the multi-story building filled with smoke.

DFR said all the residents were evacuated to a safe area as crews worked to determine the cause of the smoke.
