    Nov. 16—Two Denver firefighters suffered minor injuries extinguishing a six-building fire just south of Interstate 70 and York Street that caused billowing smoke in the city.

    The six buildings of varying size and occupancy were around 4236 York St., according to Greg Pixley, a fire department spokesman.

    Some of the buildings were abandoned and others were occupied, but no civilians were injured in the blaze, Pixley said.

    As of 3:30 p.m., Denver firefighters remained on scene putting out hot spots.

    No further details were available at this time.
