Four people were displaced and two cats died Friday morning in an apartment fire in Lakewood.
The fire sparked before 5 a.m. from an electric space heater in an unoccupied apartment unit at a building near Ammons Street near its intersection with West 12th Avenue, West Metro Fire Rescue said in a post on X. The building was totally destroyed.
The heater was being used to keep pipes from freezing, fire officials said. The fire extended into the ceiling and up through the roof, eventually consuming the building.
