A major fire ripped through an apartment building under construction in Concord early Tuesday, forcing the evacuation of 250 people from the apartment building next door and causing minor injuries to two residents. Around 1 a.m., the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District received reports of a fire at a building near the intersection of Willow Pass Road, Galindo Street and Concord Avenue. The building was empty at the time of the fire, officials said. “When we arrived, there was a portion of the building that was completely engulfed,” Fire Marshal Robert Marshall said. “It spread to all combustible sides of the building, and led to sudden collapse of that portion of the structure.
