A burning cigarette left in an ashtray appears to have started ...

[wow]

Hmmm...Well damn, I feel sorry for everyone that was affected by this!

We drove by the apartment as we live 2 blocks away and this was a horrible sight..:(

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

I hope they all hold her accountable for being so careless. The big question will be 'does she have insurance?'.

youou, If I were to guess which one you are, I would think
you are a pin headed fool without a clue, an under achiever
and someone that will be sticking your nose into everyones
business even if it does not effect you. It other words, you
are just another gossiping degenerate.

this story keeps changing on the way th fire started....maybe it was a cigarette discarded in a fire grill, lol

I was there that day. My friend Jason has an apartment that was right next to the 3 apartments on fire, luckly his was ok due to the fire walls protecing rooms.

We walked outside as soon as it started and the fire seemed to be way to big for just a little cigerette to start it, I mean srsly, it wasn't that windy out, that fire had to of started from the inside. The reason I say that, is cuz the fire wasn't blowing in, it was blowing out of the sliding glass doors on the second floor and the third floor.

My crew (Rapid Pulse Productions) and High Frequency will be doing a all night charity dance event for the people on the first and third floor of the apartments. The third floor was completey distroyed by the fire, and lived there was a single father with his 2 kids, the fire took everything of theres, and I feel we need to help them. This event will be held on June 5th 2009

What happened to "fire safe" cigarettes? I thought this was never to happen again.

Yeah because if it's all B.S I want my cigarettes back how they were!! I get pretty tired of having to relight mine!!!!!

The worst part of this fire, not how it was caused, is that the management/OWNER of Highcrest Apartments do not care at all about their resident. Last year they had a flood in a different building and did not clean or put new carpet in = mold and horrible smell.
I seiously hope that this time the owner's heart is a little bigger, so he will actually fix the burnt apartments in a timely manner and also show them some compassion. And hopefully also to the other units that had smoke damage. The owner really doesn't care about the residents - just their money.

The next fire there will probably be caused by one of the many meth makers in the buildings at Highcrest.
This is the 2nd time this building had a fire in a few years.
