Around 12:45 a.m., dispatch centers in both Weld and Boulder counties received multiple calls reporting large flames along County Line Road, just north of Colorado Highway 66. When fire crews arrived, they found a modular home in a small neighborhood east of Weld County Road 1 fully involved in flames.

As MVFR firefighters attacked the fire from the exterior, a second team entered the home to extinguish the flames inside and perform a search. Paramedics evaluated the family, who had safely evacuated before crews arrived, and confirmed that no injuries occurred.
