One fireman sustained minor injuries after combating a five-alarm fire at an apartment complex under construction in Aurora, Colorado.
Just before 1:00 p.m., authorities responded to the five-story building at Colfax Avenue and Peoria Street. Aurora Fire Rescue stated on X on Saturday. Many pulled out their phones to take photos and videos to post on social media, as the flames and smoke could be seen for miles.

To protect firefighters, crews had to retreat from the fire after making an offensive strategy-based attempt to put it out.
To deploy additional resources to aid with suppression, the fire was upgraded from a two-alarm to a five-alarm situation. 42 resources in total were used by six more fire departments to battle the fire.
"Water access is a challenge whenever multiple apparatus are involved on a scene," stated a statement from Aurora Fire Rescue.
The multifamily building is currently empty of residents, and nobody was inside when the fire broke out. Firefighters used aerial ladders into the evening to knock out hot spots after the flames were extinguished.
On the Grubb Properties website, the complex was listed as Link Apartment Fitz and was intended to house "405 units of essential housing to Aurora to serve these workers, students, "and others who wish to settle in this expanding neighborhood."
In a statement to FOX NEWS ASBR, the property management business praised all the fire agencies that helped put out the fire.
According to authorities, no one was residing in the under-construction structure at the time of the incident. (Fire Department of Denver)
