I'm quite on the other side but will keep updated. Building 15. It has spread from the outer patio near the lake and now the entire 3rd floor is engulfed. This is terrifying. The smoke and flames were coming from the apartment where it started for about 5 minutes before the alarm went off which is the most worrisome thing. I hope everyone got out

Talked to firefighter that said they are just trying to contain from spreading now as opposed to trying to extinguish. No word if they got everyone out

That's what it sounds like, but keep in mind this is just one police officer who is not directly on the scene. It looks like they still had aerial ladders spraying it trying to contain and is significantly controlled now as a result but 3rd floor is definitely destroyed and saw flames in windows of 2nd floor units too
