More than a dozen people are looking for a place to stay after a fire broke out at a Highland Square apartment building early Wednesday morning.

Akron firefighters found smoke pouring out of the windows at the apartment complex on South Highland Avenue, and saw people climbing out the windows.

Lt. Sirjie Lash with Akron Fire says that a later search found a man inside unresponsive, and firefighters went to work to save him

"And our firefighters actually performed CPR on that patient," Lt. Lash tells WAKR.net, "and at this point in time (late Wednesday afternoon) that patient is still alive."

Two people were taken to hospitals, and two people were treated for minor injuries on the scene.

The Red Cross is working to help the residents find shelter.
