Club Valencia, like other older complexes, does not have a fire suppression sprinkler system. Two fires have broken out there since November, displacing people in over 170 residences.

National Fire Sprinkler Association

The Feb. 1, 2023, fire at 1306 S. Parker Road is the second in about three months at the Club Valencia complex in unincorporated Arapahoe County. “Incidents of fire occur whether there’s a sprinkler or not,” Valdez said. “A fire in a nonsprinkler space will grow until firefighters arrive. In a space with a sprinkler, the fire is probably out before the first firefighters are on scene.”

LCM Property Management, which manages the Club Valencia property, did not return a request seeking comment for this story.
