AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) – A late night apartment fire killed two people in Aurora and at least 15 other people were injured.

The fire happened Monday night at an apartment complex near 17th and Peoria.

When fire crews arrived on scene at about 11 p.m. officials say flames were shooting through the roof and coming mainly from a stairwell area.

“It was as intense as it gets,” said Aurora Fire Capt. Allen Robnett. “It was an offensive fire attack by the fire crews at the same time doing numerous fire rescues.”

More than 40 firefighters were involved in the firefight, which included using ladders to help rescue people hanging out of windows. Many people were trapped inside the apartment at one point.

“We had numerous people at the windows, or hanging out of the windows. We did numerous ladder rescues from the side of the windows. We had a total of 15 injuries and 2 fatalities,” Robnett said.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. It could be several days before it’s known what happened.

The residents of the apartment complex are now displaced, but the Red Cross has opened a shelter at Parris Elementary School.
