WELLINGTON, CO – Fire crews responded swiftly to a second-alarm structure fire on the 5100 block of N County Road 11 late Monday night. The fully engulfed outbuilding, reported by multiple callers at 9:03 p.m., prompted a coordinated attack between Poudre Fire Authority (PFA) and Wellington Fire Protection District.
Firefighters worked from the exterior to control the flames and successfully knocked down the fire by 9:19 p.m. Thankfully, the blaze did not spread to the nearby home or horse barns.
Crews remained on scene to extinguish hot spots before beginning to clear the area. A PFA fire investigator is now working to determine the cause of the fire.
