At 12:15 p.m., Sky 5 video showed extensive smoke coming from the roof of a building at the Lexington on the Green complex along North New Hope Road near Louisburg Road and Capital Boulevard.

A resident said she spotted six fire trucks responding. Another reported a lot of smoke and flames.

"This is just very frightening," she said. "It could have been me."
