DENVER (CBS4) - Firefighters from several agencies were working on a fire inside a north Denver elementary school Wednesday morning. A second alarm was confirmed by a spokesperson for Adams County Fire Rescue, the lead agency on the incident.

Firefighters were searching the inside of the building while attacking the fire, said Julie Browman of ACFR.
