At link above you can read the very latest about this fire at the retirement home building.The good news is that the injuries that some people suffered were minor and no fatalities occured.

You already posted what I was going to Luis. So far the news is as good as it can be in this type of situation. Sitting in my office looking out on the freeway we could tell something big was going on because there were all sorts of fire apparatus screaming by. The fire is about 4 or 5 miles from where I work. Couldn't find anything on the breaking news feeds till after we left for lunch.

Mainly those injuries were caused by smoke inhalation,but in general as you said,it could have been worse,as these were senior citizens.

Here is the latest I have on this from the local paper online:
