Denver7's Claire Lavezzorio went to the scene and spoke with families in the neighborhood, who said power was turned off and firefighters knocked on their doors telling them to evacuate. Resident Sean Horan said he walked out of his neighbors' house to see a small orange glow. Just a few minutes later, he said he saw flames that he estimated were 150 feet tall when compared to trees near the burning structure. “Now we’re not sure if we can even get back to our houses,' added neighbor Michael Weiss. 'The whole street is barricaded off... It’s really, really scary.”Horan said a large apartment complex is under construction in the area, and he suspected that was what had caught fire. He said it did not look like it had spread to any trees in the area. “Waiting out here, looking at this, is pretty depressing,' Weiss said, glancing at the blaze. The cause and extent of the fire is unknown. There is no word on injuries as of publishing time. This is a breaking story. Refresh for updates.
