On August 12th, 2026 around 15:00 Denver Fire Department responded to a structure fire in the 9000 block of E. Mississippi Ave. in the Windsor neighborhood. When crews first arrived, light smoke was coming from the eaves of the structure. Conditions quickly changed as the fire intensified, prompting a second alarm and bringing additional resources to the scene. As the fire progressed, a partial collapse occurred on the Alpha/Bravo corner of the structure. For the safety of our firefighters, crews transitioned from an offensive to a defensive strategy and worked to contain the fire from the exterior. Three apartments were displaced as a result of the fire. One cat was found deceased inside the structure. No reported injuries and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
