ORLANDO, Fla. – A dozen people will have to find another place to stay after a fire scorched six units at an apartment complex near Orlando's tourist district.
The fire broke out around 1 a.m. at the Lexington Apartments off Woodland Boulevard.
Orange County firefighters said flames were shooting from the side of the building.
A man driving by smelled smoke and called 911.
"It was a flame right against the wall. It looked like a light bulb or something. It was real small and it kept spreading bigger and bigger," Luis Rodriguez said.

The American Red Cross said it was assisting 12 people.
