Seven residents displaced after Aurora townhouse fire

Seven residents of a four-unit townhouse complex were displaced from their homes following a fire Saturday afternoon in Aurora.

Firefighters responded to the complex on the 1800 block of Carnation Court just after 4:30 p.m. following multiple 911 calls.

Heavy fire was visible from one unit of the two-story building.

No injuries were reported and firefighters were able to rescue two cats from the blaze.

A neighboring building sustained minor heat damage.

The complex was deemed uninhabitable. A damage estimate was not immediately known.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

In 2019, a 4-year-old girl died and her mother and younger sister were hospitalized after a fire at another of the townhouse buildings on the same block of Carnation Court.
