Colorado Springs Home Catches Fire But Everyone Is Safe
When I first heard about the house fire early Saturday morning in southwest Colorado Springs, my first thought was: I hope everyone made it out okay. And thankfully, they did. According to the Colorado Springs Fire Department, crews responded around 1 a.m. to a home on Harrison Road—just off Lake Avenue and Venetucci Boulevard—and managed to knock down the flames quickly.
Now, even though no one was hurt, the house didn’t come out unscathed. The damage was described as “heavy,” which usually means serious structural loss, possible smoke infiltration throughout the home, and months of cleanup ahead. That kind of damage doesn’t make headlines like injuries do, but for the families involved, it’s life-changing.
What stands out here—and honestly what we should talk more about—is how smoothly CSFD handled the whole situation. A fast response. No casualties. And no fire spreading to nearby homes. In a city where structure fires can escalate fast, that’s no small thing…
