The Madison Fire Department was dispatched to the 8200 block of Starr Grass Dr. Friday afternoon at 3:48 PM. Multiple 911 callers reported seeing a roof on fire at an apartment building at this location. 

While in route, firefighters noted a plume of black smoke seen from Raymond Road. Upon arrival, they found heavy black smoke and fire coming from the roof of 8206 Starr Grass Drice.
