Massive apartment fire burning in Montrose

[TexasTowelie]

HOUSTON – An entire apartment complex is burning on West Dallas in Montrose.

It appears the complex, under construction near the Montrose intersection, is going to be a total loss.

There is no word on injuries at this time.

The thick black smoke can be seen from miles away and the flames are burning out of control.

1. I had to look on a map to remember what it looked like.

I remember the area, just haven't had reason to go over there in ages. I guess the NE corner is where they were building it, because the NE side is a cemetery.

Wait a minute. In reading the story, I see they were building right next to the cemetery! I guess the residents didn't want it there after all

This is the same complex KHOU 11 News reported on Monday night because it was built a few feet away from a historic cemetery. Magnolia Cemetery has been there since 1884.

The centuries-old headstones include familiar names in Houston history, including Bammel, Halliburton, Wortham and Telge.
