GLENDALE, AZ — Twenty people are displaced from their homes after a fire broke out at an apartment building in the West Valley Sunday morning.

Rural Metro Fire officials say they were called to the fire near 83rd and Glendale avenues.

When they arrived, they found multiple units impacted by a fire in the building.

All people were evacuated safely from the building, along with four dogs.

Officials say one dog died in the fire.

Twenty people have been displaced because of the fire, though no injuries have been reported.

Lisa Turner, who lost her home in the fire, said that she and her family lost everything in the fire.

"I feel like this is something you see on TV, this doesn't happen to you," said Turner. "This is a little overwhelming, but we have faith and know that God will take care of us."

The cause of the fire is not yet known. Fire officials say the origin is reportedly from one of the apartments.

An online fundraiser has been set up to help the three families impacted by the fire.
