A furious fire gutted a home today on Krameria Way in Centennial, CO. Curiosity got the best of us when we spotted the smoke. The home nestled well within a tight neighborhood was the only structure involved.
The homeowner lived along and was found sitting on the sidewalk waiting for the emergency vehicles. He told the firemen the fire started in his basement.
I’ve never seen a fire burn like this. Even as water poured on from 3 ladder trucks the fire continued to blaze. The home burnt beyond saving. The homeowner suffered 2nd degree burns on his face and hands.
Thankfully no one else was injured.

Omg how sad. Had a client’s condo burn to the ground last year, it was heart wrenching to watch them deal with it. No one got hurt, hope this home owner is going to be ok. Second degree hurts like the dickens.
FYI I read the paper this morning to learn more about this incident. Not much more was said, but I did learn there were 4 families who lost their homes in our metro area yesterday. So sad.
I can’t think of any injury that could be worse than being burnt.
