AURORA – One person was killed and another injured after a fire broke out at an Aurora apartment complex on Saturday night.

Aurora Fire Rescue were called to Heather Gardens, a high-rise senior retirement community located at 14000 East Linvale Place on a report of a fire at about 7:30 p.m.

Firefighters believe the fire started on the sixth floor of one of the buildings.

One person has died from their injuries, and the other person's injuries were not as serious, Aurora Fire said. Both were transported to the hospital. A dog also died in the fire.

No firefighters were injured.

The building did not have a sprinkler system -- and wasn't obligated to have one either, according to Aurora Fire.

Firefighters say the cause of the fire is unattended cooking. Twelve apartments were displaced.
