DACONO, Colo. — A Sunday morning fire in Dacono quickly spread across a residential property, drawing a large emergency response and raising concerns about how closely homes are spaced in parts of Weld County.

Mountain View Fire Rescue crews were dispatched around 9:30 a.m. to a report of a structure fire on MacMurry Court. When firefighters arrived, they found flames already showing from a single-wide mobile home and extending into multiple outbuildings, along with nearby wood materials that had ignited.

The layout of the neighborhood, where homes and structures sit in close proximity, led to additional resources being called in, including support from the Frederick-Firestone Fire Protection District. Crews worked to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading further to nearby properties.

All residents were able to escape safely. Two dogs were accounted for, while one cat remained missing as of the latest update, though it may have been seen leaving the property.
