A structure fire turned deadly near South Quebec Street and High Line Canal Trail Saturday morning. Several people were initially trapped and one person died in that fire.

Video posted by fire crews shows flames jetting through the roof of that building they describe as a multi-family structure. Families from 23 units have been displaced as a result of the fire.

Several people, including two firefighters, were injured. The firefighters' injuries were minor, South Metro Fire said.

The cause of the fire is now under investigation.
