-- Huntsville firefighters are on the scene of an apartment fire at Colonial Grand at Edgewater Apartments at 1061 Grandeview Boulevard.

About eight units at the apartment complex are on fire, according to firefighters on the scene. No one was injured in the fire, officials at the scene said.

The fire apparently started in the roof above the apartment occupied by Michelle Elliott. Elliot, who was on the couch making plans for her birthday next weekend, said she did not know that her apartment was on fire until neighbors knocked on her door and told her flames were coming through the roof.

The firefighter received the call at 12:37 p.m. Colonial Grand at Edgewater is in the 1000 block of Grandeview Boulevard, off of Zierdt Road.
