The fire broke out around 4:30 p.m. at an unoccupied building at the Riverwalk at Millenium apartments, a $51 million upscale apartment complex. The fire spread rapidly and destroyed the building.
The fire has since spread to occupied buildings, and remains out of control.

In all, five buildings are burning.
Montgomery County officials say hundreds of people have been evacuated, and they are being taken to a local fire department. Arrangements are being made for them there.
One firefighter has been injured battling this blaze. The extent of that firefighter's injuries are unclear.
The smoke is visible from the Schuylkill Expressway, and is causing traffic delays.
The fire is also affecting the rails. SEPTA says the R6 Norristown line is suspended in both directions because of the fire.
Witnesses calling Action News say embers from the fire are falling as far as 12 blocks away.
There are no reports of injuries at this time.

Not trying jump to conclusions, or point fingers, but.......
seems to resemble a eco-nazi fire in VA. from initial reports....
I sure hope I am WRONG!!!!
i hope all the brothers make it out ok !!
and ya like clarion44 said, long grueling cleanup
I caught a little of this on the news tonight. Huge fire. If I am not mistaken the development is only partially inhabited, and partially still under construction. I'm wondering if maybe the developers got in too deep and couldn't continue on, and used a spark to get out of the red?
Thats what I was thinking, They found out that their 51 mil project is worth 25 mil and they owe 100 mil on it.
