Brighton Fire Rescue told FOX31 at about 10 p.m. that they received the house fire call at about 6:05 p.m., and that the fire was upgraded to a two-alarm fire due to the amount of flames and wind.
The home is located on East 138th Place, near Riverdale Road and the E-470 toll road, on a hill that's visible to much of the area due to surrounding open space.
Brighton Fire said that one person was transported to an area hospital with unknown injuries, and a second person was rescued from the home. No one died in the fire, the agency said.
FOX31's Nate Belt arrived at the scene while the home was still fully engulfed. Traffic to the neighborhood was blocked by police.
The Adams County Sheriff's Office said that it had deputies on scene to assist the Brighton Fire Rescue while they extinguished the fire. Brighton Fire Rescue investigators were also on scene.
Brighton Fire said that there were some missing cats and kittens from the property, but that some had been reunited with their owner as of Thursday night.
There is no information yet on what caused the fire, but officials said that it did threaten a neighboring home while ablaze. The other home was not damaged.
Brighton Fire was assisted by Thornton, South Adams and Fort Lupton fire departments.
