Colorado crews quickly put out shed fire before flames reach home in Evergreen

A shed fire sent flames nearly 20 feet in the air, with the flames growing close to an Evergreen home when Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies arrived on the scene Wednesday night. Multiple callers to 911 reported smoke and flames at the home on Meyers Gulch Road. 

When deputies arrived, they confirmed no one was inside the home, then used fire extinguishers and dirt to slow the fire and keep it from spreading to the home until Evergreen Fire arrived. When firefighters arrived, they took over and extinguished the fire. 

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. 

Jeffco Sheriff's Office posted on X, "Thank you to the residents who called this in quickly, our deputies who acted fast and Evergreen Fire for getting this out before it became something far worse."
