The blaze was first reported about 12:45 a.m. at the Castle West Apartments at 3770 E. Uintah. Witnesses said the flames were shooting out of the roof and thick smoke filled the air as people tried to get out.

Fire Lt. Jeff Sievers said authorities were still trying several hours to determine how many people had escaped the 130-unit building, and whether anyone remained inside.

not w/ 5 military installations; gov't buys land cheap. we're more of a sprawling suburbia - outstretching to meet denver - & more houses than trees. NE side of town (high plains heaving to 7,000 ft) is pretty ugly.

but not as ugly as a 4 block charred wasteland ripped from last night's final scene of 24.

I sure hope the fire burns down all those extreme religious organizations. Maybe they'll move to Waco Texas or something.

just a quick peek south out my window across the city...

IT'S STILL BURNING!

what the hell? did they not get all the babies out? that's the only explanation i can find for a 3 story complex to be on fire 20 hrs later.

Maybe all the firefighters are evangelicals hoping for a revelation...or they are trying to pray it out?

It might have been a bad idea to go over the burning bush at the Colorado Springs fire department bible study last week...

You think the burning building is going to give the 11th commandment?


Thou shalt not root for the AFC this year.
