Fire crews on Monday were sent to fight a massive, eight-alarm fire in Redwood City that ripped through a $155 million- affordable housing development under construction, dashing hopes that it would be rebuilt any time soon.

Fire crews in Menlo Park and Redwood City were dispatched at 10:15 a.m. to a blaze at 2700 block of Middlefield Road, a building in a densely packed neighborhood south of a Costco and west of a Target. Menlo Park Fire Protection Chief Mark Lorenzen said there were no injuries from the blaze, but the building looks to be a "total loss." Video on Citizen App showed smoke pouring out of the windows and crews blasting the flames with hoses.

" His colleague, Supervisor Dave Canepa, agreed. "To see this up in flames is obviously something that is tragic," Canepa said on his way to the scene. "This housing was desperately needed." Canepa said that the development was also supposed to include childcare and community space, as well as one, two, and three-bedroom units.
