Massive fire burns empty apartment complex in Oklahoma City

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Crews are battling a massive fire that ripped through an apartment complex under construction in northwest Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City Fire Department Battalion Chief Benny Fulkerson says the blaze Tuesday evening prompted a “five-alarm response” with more than 80 firefighters on the scene. Fulkerson says there have been no reports of injuries. Fire Department Capt. Scott Douglas says crews are still dousing hot spots Wednesday afternoon. Fulkerson says the fire appeared to start on the roof of the five-story structure and that the fire was exacerbated by a “rubbery material” on the roof that burns easily. Douglas says the $65 million project had been due to open this spring.
