It is an apartment fire. Hope every one got out safe

Another fire in BJ

It appeears to be an apartment building fire. Can't really see what is burning, it is behind another building. Notice the burned out shell of the CCTV hotel on the right, I watched that burn 2 yrs ago. Spectacular fire. Bj FD not really very quick to respond, stuck in traffic on freeway.
