2-alarm fire burns Castle Rock apartment building

CASTLE ROCK, Colo. - A grease fire may be to blame for a two-alarm apartment fire in Castle Rock Friday morning.

The fire started about 3:15 a.m. in the 900 block of South Street, near South Ridge Elementary School.

A firefighter told 7NEWS they found a pan of grease on a stove that burned, possibly igniting the fire.

A resident in a lower unit told firefighters some pizza boxes were near the stove when a fire started.

"They did see that some boxes close to their kitchen area caught fire," said Castle Rock Fire chief Art Morales live on 7NEWS.

Morales said the resident tried to put out the fire, but it quickly spread to three other apartments.

"We had heavy fire in this structure," Morales said. "It went from the lower occupancies up through the second floor ones."

Four units were damaged. Eight people in three units escaped without injury. The fourth unit was unoccupied.

Morales said it took 20 minutes to get the fire knocked down and about 45 minutes to completely extinguish the fire.

The ghost estates that still haunt Ireland

A decade after the crash, Shannon Valley housing estate , on the outskirts of Ballaghaderreen, in Co Roscommon, remains unfinished and partly in ruins. Although the number of “ unfinished housing developments ” has fallen sharply since 2010, Shannon Valley is one of hundreds that still dot the country. The Guls: ‘Every day I put rats in the bin’ Fatima Gul says her little brother, Yousaf, doesn’t like the rats. He jumps up on the sofa or the table in the living room when they come into the house. Their parents don’t allow Fatimar, who is 10, or her nine-year-old sister, Maryam, or Yousaf and his twin, Zohra, who are five, to play near the houses on the other side of their green. It’s too close to the rats and the rubble. Shannon Valley “ ghost estate ” outside Ballaghaderreen, Co Roscommon.
