One firefighter and three police officers were injured as they tried to contain an inferno at an unfinished Arizona apartment complex Saturday night.

Gilbert fire officials told 12 News that the firefighter suffered burns on his hands and the Gilbert police officers were treated for smoke inhalation.

Some residents who were evacuated near the major fire in the Phoenix suburb returned home early Sunday. About 60 people were evacuated from the area, American Red Cross public information officer Diana Cross said. Evacuees from an apartment complex near the fire were still displaced, she said.

The five-alarm fire began Saturday just after 6 p.m. at an apartment complex under construction and spread to a home near Gilbert and Warner roads, ABC15 reported. Gilbert Fire and Rescue posted on Twitter that homes from Civic Center Drive to Nunneley to Deon had been evacuated.
