Flames could be seen for miles after a three-alarm fire started at a vacant Denver apartment building early Sunday morning.

The fire was reported around midnight at a five-story apartment building at Kentucky and Birch, which is east of I-25 and south of Colfax. The building was completely destroyed.

Sister station KCNC says the blaze was so intense, neighboring apartments were wet down as a precaution. There was some damage to neighboring buildings.

As firefighters began to douse the flames, KCNC says a huge smoke cloud could be seen overhead.

The building was under construction at the time of the fire. No one was living there. There were no reported injuries.

At this time, the cause is unknown.
