Fire crews were alerted shortly before 13:00 on Monday to the incident at Douglas Haig Court in Linden Crescent in Hawick.
The three men - aged 70, 80 and 87 - were treated by paramedics while firefighters checked nearby properties to ensure residents were safe.
The fire is understood to have started in the flat's kitchen.
Two fire crews from Hawick were supported by colleagues from Selkirk and Galashiels.
