UPDATE (1:53 p.m.) - A total of four condo units were involved in a fire at Blacklake Golf Resort in Nipomo on Thursday.
Two units were destroyed and the other two were damaged, according to CAL FIRE SLO spokesperson Toni Davis.
April Smith lives in one of the condos and was alerted to the fire by her neighbors.
"I didn't know anything was going on and the neighbors came over and start yelling, 'April, get out!' And as soon as I came out, I saw the smoke. I looked up, saw the fire coming out of the roof next door, and they said, 'grab what you need,'" she recalled.
Smith says her home sustained water damage but it appears most of her belongings are salvageable.
"I'm devastated for Jim, my neighbor, who, you know, looks like he's lost a lot. I mean, he's lost a lot and, you know, the main thing is everybody's safe," Smith said.
She adds that there were plumbers in the unit next to her when the fire broke out and they helped her neighbor to safety.
Davis says damage is estimated at $2 million.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
