Fire inspectors with South Metro Fire Rescue found multiple fire code violations at Ivy Crossing Apartments two months before Saturday’s deadly blaze, according to a fire inspection report obtained by Denver7 Sunday
DENVER — .
Inspectors also found the complex had fire doors that did not latch securely, “excessive combustible storage” and unverifiable boiler inspection forms. Additionally, inspectors noted other problems, including exposed electrical wires next to detached fire alarms and several residents with “20 pound propane tanks on un-sprinklered balconies.”
Firefighters found numerous people trapped inside the building and on balconies when they arrived on scene. Flames had already consumed the entire second and third-floor hallways, both stairwells and extended into multiple apartments, according to the news release. The complex is made up of several buildings and was constructed in 1972. Ivy Crossing Apartments did not have sprinklers installed, which was not required at the time, according to the South Metro Fire Rescue spokeswoman Lauren Ono.
