Wind Fuels Fire That Destroys Home
ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4)- A two-story home in Adams County is a complete loss after a fire that started late Sunday night.
The fire began sometime after 11 p.m. Sunday on Gaylord Street near 142nd Avenue in Adams County.
Firefighters say the strong wind gusts hampered efforts to get the fire under control. The home was fully engulfed when fire crews arrived and they had to take a defensive strategy.
Copter4 flew over the fire scene early Monday morning where smoke still billowed from the ashes of the home.
North Metro Fire is still investigating the fire at Gaylord St. that occurred just after 11 pm last night. The house is a total loss, and the investigation is ongoing.
