Controversial condo project up in flames

The abandoned and controversial condo project Tuscany Villas caught fire today, destroying at least two buildings one building and damaging another. There were no injuries and the cause of the blaze is still under investigation.

Developers abandoned the project about two years ago when they ran out of money, leaving the unfinished buildings idling on Foothill Boulevard west of Vineyard Avenue. In an article published two months ago, Red Hill resident Corbet Macy said it was "a matter of time before they set it on fire." Macy was referring to teenagers or homeless people who are sometimes seen on the property.
