Fire Breaks Out In Evergreen While Homeowners Are Out Of Town

EVERGREEN, Colo. (CBS4) - The cold and a lack of water made things difficult for firefighters battling a house fire in Evergreen on Friday morning.

Something sparked the fire in an house at 28940 Golf Way, which was unoccupied at the time.

Evergreen Fire Rescue had to call for aid from other agencies after the fire started at approximately 7 a.m.

"The damage was mostly limited to the interior but there was a lot of smoke pushing from one of the ends," said Evergreen Assistant Chief Mason Duncan. "Structurally it's still standing, it's okay. About half the house on the west end is untouched."

There were no reports of any injuries.

The homeowners were described as being out of state. What caused the fire is being investigated.
