Westlake - Multiple fire departments responded to a fire at the Sturbridge Square Apartments in Westlake Sunday night.

Fire officials responded to 1500 Westford circle around 11:20 p.m.

"My kids are in California, so they are dealing with the fires out there, and now this right across the street. It was terrifying", says Holly, a neighbor who was pulled from her couch after seeing lights outside her window. 

A worker at the apartments, who lived underneath where the fire started, helped evacuate people inside the structure.
