Fire crews remain at the street, which is cordoned off. It is understood the fire has now been extinguished.
A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: "We were alerted at 5.56am on Friday, 26 April to reports of a fire affecting a tenement flat on Polwarth Street in the Hyndland area of Glasgow.
"Operations Control mobilised four appliances and a high reach vehicle to the scene, where crews remain in attendance."
Scotrail said on social media that due to the nearby emergency trains passing through Hyndland station could be subject to "alteration and cancellation," and urged travellers to plan ahead.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
