LITTLETON, Colo. — Three bodies have been recovered from a house in suburban Denver after a fire erupted during a party.
The fire destroyed the house and damaged two others early Sunday. Fire district spokeswoman Cindy Matthews says one person was severely injured with burns to 70 percent of his body.
Firefighters had to wait hours for the rubble to cool before they could begin their search.
Neighbors reported booms and loud popping sounds and said the house had exploded. But Matthews says firefighters have been unable to determine what happened.
