WESTMINSTER, Colo. — The Westminster police and fire departments are investigating the cause of a house fire that killed two people and injured another early Tuesday morning.
The first 911 calls started coming in shortly after midnight Tuesday, according to the Westminster Fire Administration public information officer.
When firefighters arrived at a neighborhood off W. 72nd Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard, they found a home on Marshall Court engulfed in flames.
Two people were found dead inside, and another person was taken to a nearby hospital with injuries.
One neighbor in the same cul-de-sac as the home that caught fire reported waking up to someone screaming for help.
Denver7 also spoke to one neighbor who lives down the street and saw flames from her front porch.
"I've never seen that many fire trucks anywhere, and saw flames from what I thought was the house just right across, but it's the [home] in the cul-de-sac. Saw these flames shooting out over a roof, the highest peak of the roof," said Janine Cavalier, who lives nearby.
Investigators have not released any information about who was inside the home at the time of the fire, and the current condition of the survivor who was transported to the hospital remains unknown.
Denver7 will share any updates as new information is available.
