One person was killed in a late Tuesday night, South Metro Fire Rescue officials said.
South Metro crews responded to 911 calls about smoke at a multi-family complex at 5531 S. Delaware St. at 11:26 p.m., spokesperson Brian Willie said.
The address matches Regal Apartments.
Firefighters rescued one occupant from the apartment where the fire started and performed lifesaving measures, along with medics, for 40 minutes, Willie said, but the man died at the scene.
The fire was contained to one unit, and at least 10 other residents temporarily displaced from their homes were able to return by 2:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The fire is still under investigation and the resident’s name will be released by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.
