From the Dallas Fire/Rescue Department:

On Saturday, April 3rd, at 10:41 p.m., Dallas Fire-Rescue units were assigned to a 911 call for a structure fire at a set of under construction apartment buildings, located at 4475 Scurry Street, in central Dallas.

First responding companies arrived to find heavy fire coming from the third floor of one of the three-story buildings. In fact, the fire was so far in its advanced stages that a second alarm was requested prior to arrival; followed by a third alarm only 15 minutes later. Approximately 60 - 65 firefighters, using ladder pipes and hand lines, surrounded the fire and were able to bring it under control just after midnight.

There were four buildings, totaling 14 apartments, in the fenced off area that were destroyed by the flames. Thankfully, they were still being erected; so there were no occupants and no injuries to report.

Investigators are looking into the incident through various means, to gather as much information as they can about a potential cause. Currently, the cause is undetermined.
