A garage fire in the 4300 block of Winstertone Drive in Fort Collins was quickly contained on the evening of April 17, thanks to fast action from both the public and Poudre Fire Authority (PFA) crews.
Multiple 911 calls came in at 9:06 p.m. reporting flames, prompting an immediate response. Engine 5 arrived on scene by 9:11 p.m., confirming a working fire in the attached garage of a two-story home. Firefighters quickly began an aggressive fire attack and assigned crews to search the home and assess smoke conditions.
Four people were inside the home at the time, but all made it out safely before firefighters arrived. A dog in the backyard was also rescued and reunited with the family. No injuries were reported.
