Firefighters were able to extinguish the flames before long and get the situation under control. The report indicates that a sprinkler system was triggered in an effort to douse the flames, but failed to complete the task. Thus, firefighters were called out to extinguish the flames at the Broncos‘ stadium.

An official media briefing is scheduled to take place at 3:00 p.m. MDT, at which point more details on the incident will be provided.

9News' Mike Klis reports that no injuries were sustained in the fire, and that workers were evacuated safely from the stadium. Construction was reportedly being done at the area where the fire occurred, though what caused the flames to flare up remains unclear. Klis also indicates the Broncos will get to work on repairing the suites impacted by the flames, as well as replacing the third-level seating that was ruined by the fire.
