One man is dead after an apartment fire on Camelot Lane in Saginaw Township this morning.
Schronda Hill, a tenant in the building, says she was awoken by an alarm going off in the building around 8 am. She traced the source to her neighbor's lower level apartment, and realized smoke was coming from under his door.
Hill says she knew a man in his sixties lived alone in the apartment, and was worried that he had accidently started a fire.
"I knocked on the door to see what was going on. Did he need help? Was it under control? There was no answer," says Hill.
Hill says she called her building superintendent for help, and he kicked down the door to get the man out of his apartment.
"He pulled the guy out, and he wasn't moving," says Hill.
Paramedics tried to recessitate the man, but were unsuccessful.
Mark Mckay also lives in the apartment building, and says he didn't know there was a fire in the building until his neighbors knocked on his door."As soon as I opened the door the hallway was just full of smoke," says McKay.
McKay says he is rattled by the fire this morning.
"Its definitely scary when it hits so close to home, it scares everyone. Everyone was petrified," says McKay.
The fire did not spread to any other apartments in the building, and nobody else was hurt.
