Here are the top three stories today in Dallas:

2. Dallas' Manor House fire caused black smoke to billow from the top floor of the 25-story apartment building. According to Dallas Fire and Rescue, the origin of the blaze is a couch that caught on fire in a community room. Thankfully, nobody was injured during the blaze and none of the apartments were damaged. (Newstalk1290)
