PMSNBC reporting a "hotel on fire," four or five stories. They had an aerial view. It didn't look like 6 blocks.

Fox is the only one covering this so far. The pix look horrific. Smoke everywhere.
May have begun in "nearby apartment building under construction." Near VCU, Virginia Commonwealth University.
Academy recruits called in to fight fire.
51` temperatures with moderate winds.

The scrawl says 2 blocks, but it is windy and causing brush fires. The firemen look like they are pretty much in control.

Trying to hit the Richmond Times-Disgrace's website right now...not surprisingly, it's slashdotted big-time. Here we go...
Fires break out at VCU
An explosive fire broke out at 12:32 p.m. today in a VCU building under construction in the 900 block of West Broad St., igniting other blazes in nearby buildings, sending soccer ball-sized cinders tumbling down streets, filling the sky with smoke and spreading fires north to the Carver neighborhood.
