3 homes involved in Denver fire

The Denver Fire Department is investigating the cause of the fire near West 39th Avenue and Clay Street.

DENVER — Three homes and six other structures were damaged in a fire in Denver Saturday.

The Denver Fire Department said firefighters were called to West 39th Avenue and Clay Street just before 11:45 a.m. on a report that two structures were on fire. 

They called for more firefighters and got the fire under control. Nine buildings were involved, according to the fire department — three were homes and the other six were sheds or detached garages. 

The family living in one of the homes was displaced. The other two houses had damage to the outside.

Denver Fire said they ended up calling in just over a two-alarm response, with a total of 75 firefighters at the scene. One firefighter was evaluated for smoke inhalation and returned to work. No one else was hurt.

A spokesperson for the fire department said neighbors reported hearing a loud explosion before the fire. The cause is under investigation.
