Gainesville Fire Rescue says the fire started in an air conditioning unit in the hallway at The Atrium of Gainesville located on north west 41st Street.

Everyone evacuated quickly when the alarm went off.

Firefighters say thanks to the fire doors closing and sprinkler system the fire was contained to the hallway.

Four apartments were damaged by heavy smoke.

The management company is working with displaced residents to find accommodations.
