Authorities respond to large Pueblo structure fire

Fire crews in Pueblo responded to a large structure fire in Pueblo Sunday night.

Crews responded to a commercial structure fire in the 300 block of N. Santa Fe Ave. at the Showroom appliance store around 9:20 p.m. Additional resources were needed due to the building’s size and the amount of smoke.

Residents from an adjacent building were forced to evacuate due to the danger of the smoke.

The store was unoccupied at the time of the fire and suppression crews were able to begin attacking from within while ventilation crews began going to work on the rooftop.

The fire was brought under control around 2:00 a.m. Monday.

The cause of the fire is under investigation at this time.

KRDO was on the scene of the fire and reported that the fire looked to have started internally.

Crews had to break through multiple glass doors to get inside.

The street was shut down in the area but opened before the morning commute hours.
