An Aurora construction site erupted into flames just after midnight Thursday. Crews continued to put out hotspots hours later.
The building is a planned multi-family complex off the intersection of S. Aurora Parkway and S. Addison Court. No one had moved in just yet, according to Aurora Fire Rescue. There were no injuries, AFR tweeted Thursday. Because it was a new build, fire hydrants were limited, to water down the area. The building was close to the highway, so firefighters set up on E-470 to get a better hold of the flames, public information officer Andrew Logan for Aurora Fire said. The move shut down northbound E-470 near Gartrell Road for a time. That stretch of the highway has since reopened.
Aurora Fire Rescue tackled the fire from both the air and the ground.
