Home and Auto The Great Denver Fire of 2018 - Page 2

**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.

Manning pulled a Martha Stewart

I saw that. I'm wondering if Manning totally screwed over the buyer or if there was full disclosure. Given that Manning was a Bronco, I'm going to guess that he lied and cheated and ripped off some innocent business owner.

Will he get in trouble for it. You know papa John told him it was coming and he dumped his interest in the company

And here I thought this thread was about the AIDS tree fire that is the Broncos QB room...

I see the rest of the city still stands.

IN-COM-PLETE.

Finish the job, please.

Heh.

As long as the creepy airport survives. It will save America from alien invasion or a foreign takeover- whatever comes first.

I clicked on the link hoping to read that the apt complex was owned by a company I used to work for and got this.

Definitely not low and slow though.

I’ve prayed for that city to burn to the ground many times.

This is a start.

Now THAT is a bonfire!

**Rain Man** · 03-08-2018, 12:42 PM

I live 11 blocks south of this place, and when I walked to work this morning there were big chunks of ash on the ground near my house. I'm talking hamburger-sized pieces of ash.

Don't hate the player. Hate the game.

I knew immediately the Broncos were safe from this inferno, because this fire wasn't located in a dumpster.

Two fascinating things about this statement.

"Dumpster fire" was just added to the dictionary.
"Dumpster" is technically a proper noun (like Kleenex).
