Home and Auto The Great Denver Fire of 2018 - Page 3

**Rain Man** · 03-07-2018, 08:08 PM

So we're in our office today and all of a sudden we started smelling smoke. I'm talking really strong smoke, like you were standing in front of a campfire. We started walking around looking, because something was clearly on fire. We were thinking it was our building.

Eventually we figured out that it was a building 12 blocks away from our office. It was on the opposite side of our high-rise, so we couldn't see it, but ash was falling on our building. It was an apartment complex under construction and I don't know what happened, but it went up like a torch really quickly while the workers were inside. Six other buildings caught on fire near it, and 30 to 40 cars on the street were destroyed. The construction workers were having to jump off of it, and one person died. Pretty amazing fire.

At the 38 second mark you can see the big high rise in the background that's half a block from my office.

Hmmm, so, google earth wants to know if there's an apricot BMW in your driveway.

Probably a huge meth lab

If there's a request for volunteer firemen I'll come by and whip my hose out and douse the city in piss. I'll be sure to eat a couple of pounds of asparagus first.

It's deep sea blue now. (Actually, it's a different BMW.)

Dang. They found a second body. Both construction workers who couldn't get out in time. It's amazing to me that a fire could blow up that fast. The fire department said that it had a lot of exposed wood since it was just being framed, so the fire got fed quickly.
