This morning firefighters from Boulder Mountain Fire Protection District (BMFPD) responded to the report of a structure on fire in the 100 block of Pineview Lane at approximately 3:00 a.m. Members from Boulder Rural Fire Department also responded to assist BMFPD with the blaze.
Upon arrival firefighters found flames on the ceiling which were brought under control using a fire extinguisher. Portions of the ceiling and roof had to be removed as the fire was spreading into those areas as well. The fire was contained to the living room, ceiling and roof of the immediate area.
Incident Commander and BMFPD Assistant Chief stated "the timeliness of the response is to be noted as our department is made up of volunteers who have other jobs. Their diligence and fast action was a major factor in the success of this incident and outcome. We also thank Boulder Rural Fire Department for their assistance with this incident."
Approximately twenty firefighters from both agencies were on hand during the incident and no injuries were reported. The cause of this fire is currently under investigation.
