At 17:40 on July 10th, 2020 South Metro Fire Rescue Engine 11 responded to a fire alarm activation at the Buck Recreation Center, 2004 W. Powers Ave. in Littleton. No signs of smoke or fire were visible on arrival, but after investigating the cause of the alarm, a fire was discovered on the roof. A full commercial structure fire assignment was dispatched. Battalion Chief 1 arrived and assumed command on the Alpha side. Medic 12 assisted Engine 11 with fire attack, Engine 13 secured the water supply to Engine 11, and Medic 11 assigned as medical. Firefighters made an initial attack with a water extinguisher and advanced a hose line to the roof to complete fire suppression. Several crews overhauled the area which included opening up the roof to check for fire extension, a difficult task with the temperature nearly 100 degrees outside. Once the fire was completely extinguished the building was ventilated, crews decontaminated, re-hydrated, and their vital signs were checked. No injuries occurred, and the cause of the fire is under investigation. Additional information was provided by South Metro Fire Rescue
