Men playing rugby in Frances Weisbart Jacobs Park left their game Wednesday evening to help evacuate people from a burning building in the Spyglass Hill condo complex.

Denver fire spokesman Phil Champagne said the fire appears to have started in bushes on the exterior of one of the buildings at 7100 E. Mississippi Ave. Flames ran up the side of the building and through a window into one of the second-floor units and into the attic.

The fire took about 40 minutes to get under control and another 40 minutes to extinguish. Officials said the fire required a second alarm because of the number of people living in the large complex.
