Fire officials said they got the call to respond to a fire on the 12th floor at around 6pm.
They said when they arrived a man who lived there was overcome by smoke and transported to a local hospital in serious condition. Witnesses report hearing a loud explosion prior to the fire breaking out.
Officials said the fire was largely contained to the kitchen of one of the units and did not spread to others.
Firefighters are still assessing damage and determining the cause but believe it may have been caused by an electrical shortage in the hot water system that ignited a gas pipeline in the kitchen.
