Fire consumes 2 homes in Denver, mechanical issue suspected
DENVER (KKTV) – A massive fire that tore through two Denver homes Friday may have been due to a mechanical malfunction.
The fire ignited on the side of one of the houses and quickly jumped to the neighboring home, sending a towering plume of smoke up in the air:
Fireworks caused several fires in the Denver metro Thursday night, but sister CBS Denver reports that investigators didn’t have any indication that they were a culprit in the double house fire Friday.
One of the houses was empty — its occupants out of town — while in the other, a family and their dog managed to escape. Neighbors tried to help with water hoses but told CBS Denver the fire got too big too fast.
CBS Denver reports that the homes were heavily damaged; it’s unclear whether one or both is a total loss.
