A brush fire rapidly spread to a storage facility in Puyallup Friday afternoon.

At least 100 units were scorched and the heat began melting the siding on an apartment complex nearby.

A large plume of smoke could be seen rising from the area at Canyon Road E and SR-512.

KING 5 reports many people in the apartment complex had to leave the buildings because of the smoke.

A handful of businesses also evacuated for the intense smoke.

Central Pierce Fire and Rescue reported no injuries.
