DENVER (KDVR) — If you are seeing and smelling smoke in Denver, it is due to a fire that started on Monday evening in Englewood.
The Englewood Police Department said, “Thank you to Denver Fire for your hard work. Denver Fire is still on scene. The smoke that you see and smell this morning throughout much of the metro area is from this incident. The air quality is currently poor, so please take care.”
