Fire Breaks Out at Mile High Stadium in Denver

The Denver Fire Department is currently working on putting out a fire that started at Mile High Stadium in Denver on Thursday afternoon.

Images released by the fire department displayed a large fire covering a section of outdoor bleachers, with smoke emanating from the stadium.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. The suite and the third level seating area were most impacted by the fire, per the fire department.

By 2:45 MT, the fire department said they had the fire under control. Apparently sprinklers were used to attempt to stop the fire, but it was the firefighters who finished the job.
