Josh Cardonas, who lives the complex, told us, “I heard some screams and thought there was like a fight going on. I’m a little nosy so as soon as I open the door, I just see the whole building up in flames.” He added, “It went by pretty quick and spread to the next building as well. It’s crazy. I’m speechless.”<\/p>\n
At this point, it’s unclear when or how the fire started. We have a reporter on scene working to learn more.<\/p>\n
This is a developing story. We will share updates as we receive them.<\/p>\n
