Fire crews rushed to the scene within minutes, and as of now, emergency response teams are actively battling the blaze. The extent of the damage is currently unknown, but initial reports suggest that parts of the arena’s upper levels and roof may have suffered serious structural damage.
🚒 Denver Fire Department is on-site with multiple units working to contain and extinguish the fire. There are no confirmed injuries at this time, but staff and nearby individuals have been safely evacuated.
