Aurora Fire Rescue was called to the scene at 19754 E. 34th Dr. around 4 p.m. when a fire broke out at a commercial structure. When firefighters arrived, they found 2 semis and the side of a building burning.

Authorities said the fire destroyed two semis and damaged another two. A minor fire extension reportedly broke out inside the loading dock area but was controlled by the building's sprinkler system and firefighters with hose lines.

Officials said the fire started when a malfunctioning refrigeration unit on a semi-trailer sparked. A Haz-Mat team worked to clean up spilled diesel fuel while South Metro Fire Rescue helped to vent smoke from the building.
