ROSWELL, GA — More than 60 people were displaced after a fire tore through a Roswell apartment building, where people were trapped Thursday, fire officials say.

Roswell Fire on Friday said the blaze broke out around 7:30 p.m. at the Enclave apartment complex in the 11000 block of Alpharetta Highway.
