Arianit Selmani, resident who lives in the building, said: "Everyone was evacuated for 20-25 minutes. As I know, no one has been injured.
"There were a lot of fire brigades and police. I don't know exactly what caused the fire or how big it was because from the side where we were you couldn't see any smoke."
A spokeswoman for West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service said "two breathing apparatus were used" and the fire had since "been put out".
Nobody was injured in the fire.
