Three people were sent to a hospital after a multiunit fire in Denver early Wednesday.
Crews with the Denver Fire Department were sent to the multiunit residence at 1058. S Dahlia St. just after 1 a.m. When they arrived, they located an apartment unit fully engulfed in flames.
Firefighters quickly contained the blaze to a single unit and later fully extinguished the fire.
The two adjacent units suffered water damage as a result of the firefighting operations, said Adriana Lara, a spokeswoman for the Denver Fire Department.
