Hazardous materials concerns mitigated after fire at Centennial business

The fire was reported near South Potomac Street and East Arapahoe Road around 6 a.m. Tuesday.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. — A fire in Centennial that sent a large plume of smoke into the air early Wednesday is out and all hazardous materials concerns have been mitigated, South Metro Fire Rescue (SMFR) said. 

Crews responded to a commercial structure fire in the generator room of a business located at 7059 South Potomac Street in Centennial. That's near South Potomac Street and East Arapahoe Road.

Firefighters were limiting the use of water on the fire over concerns about hazardous materials that may be inside the structure.

A second alarm was called to the scene, according to an update from SMFR. However, the agency said in a tweet that the fire was contained to a small structure that houses generator equipment. The Hazmat Team is on the scene evaluating the situation, SMFR said.

No injuries have been reported.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
