DENVER -- Denver firefighters battled a massive blaze that involved at least three floors of a nearly completed luxury condominium complex near the University of Denver.
The four-story structure at Buchtel Boulevard and Louisiana Avenue was under construction and fortunately, there was no one inside, firefighters said.
Units in the Louisiana Station Lofts cost up to a half-million dollars and most were nearly complete. Some of the new owners were supposed to move in next month.
Witnesses said that the fire sent huge flames shooting into the sky -- as much as 20 to 30 feet above the roof -- and caused drivers on nearby Interstate 25 to slow down and gawk.
Firefighters battled the blaze in a mostly defensive mode, trying to protect the propane tanks that sat on the structure's roof.
