Fire departments respond to "suspicious" fires in Denver near High Line Canal, officials say
Multiple fire departments responded to several vegetation fires along the High Line Canal in Denver that fire officials said were "suspicious in nature" on Monday afternoon.
The fires were first reported just before 2 p.m. near 1181 South Parker Road and South Metro Fire Rescue said its Fire Marshal's Office was investigating the cause of those fires.
South Metro Fire Rescue said one of the fires extended to a nearby structure and footage from CBS News Colorado's cameras showed damage to a building in an office complex.
By 2:48 p.m., fire officials said the fire was under control, but South Parker Road would remain closed in the area of East Mississippi Avenue for some time.
