Intense Fire Tears Through Construction Site In Denver, Melts Vehicles

A three-alarm fire raced through an apartment construction site in the North Capitol Hill neighborhood Wednesday, killing one person and forcing panicked construction workers to jump from the second and third floors to escape the flames. The fire destroyed one building and damaged or destroyed dozens of vehicles, fire officials said. Six people were injured, including one who was in critical condition and one firefighter who suffered minor burns. One person — believed to be a construction worker — remains unaccounted for, and firefighters searched in areas that were considered safe, fire Capt. Greg Pixley said at a news conference.
