Two people were found dead inside a burning Westminster home early Tuesday morning, fire officials said.
Heavy flames were already coming from the Westminster home near Marshall Court and W. 72nd Drive when firefighters arrived at the deadly blaze shortly after midnight on Tuesday, according to the city’s fire department.
That intersection is in northeast Jefferson County, on the edge of Adams County.
Adams County Fire Rescue and North Metro Fire Rescue crews also responded to the incident because of the fire’s size and intensity, Westminster fire officials said.
Paramedics took a third resident to the hospital with unknown injuries, according to the Westminster Fire Department.
The two people killed in the fire will be identified by the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office.
The fire and its cause remained under investigation on Tuesday.
