East Colfax in Denver closed in both directions as firefighters battle abandoned house fire

East Colfax Avenue is closed in both directions at North Franklin Street in Denver because of a fire at an abandoned house in the area, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

Denver firefighters are fighting a fire at what appears to be an abandoned structure near the intersection of East Colfax and North Franklin, the Denver Fire Department posted on X just after 2 p.m. No injuries have been reported.

Crews are fighting the fire from the outside and working their way in due to the complicated nature of the structure and current wind conditions, the agency said in a 2:20 p.m. update.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
