COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- High winds fueled a massive fire Wednesday night in Colorado Springs.

More than 50 firefighters responded to the fire at the Cheyenne Vista Apartments on Crestone Lane Wednesday night.

The fire burned between the second and third floors.

All residents escaped safely, and there are no reports of any injuries.
