At 11:08 on February 6th, 2025 South Metro Fire Rescue responded to a structure fire in the at 87oo block of E. Dry Creek Rd. A realtor entered the residence and noticed a possible mattress fire, then immediately called 911 and safely evacuated the building. Crews arrived and deployed a 1.75” attack line and discovered fire in the closet of the unit. No other units were affected.
One person and a dog were displaced due to the fire. SMFR Fire Marshal’s Office investigators have determined the cause to be accidental. The occupant had been using a torch to solder copper pipe and set the torch down near combustibles. Despite the absence of visible flame, the heat from the torch caused nearby materials to catch fire. Additional information provided by South Metro Fire Rescue
