LITTLETON, Colo. (CBS4) — Early Sunday morning, an accidental fire destroyed two homes, caused massive damage to a third, and forced approximately a dozen other homes to evacuate as gusty winds created a “dense ember shower” in the Roxborough neighborhood of Littleton. Fortunately, there are no reports of any injuries.

It started a little before 4 a.m. in the 7600 block of Jared Way. When crews first arrived, three homes were already involved, according to West Metro Fire.

“Strong winds spread flames from home of origin to others,” officials stated.
