UPDATE: Small Fire At Ray Nixon Power Plant

Fire Crews from Fountain and Colorado Springs reported to a small fire at the Ray Nixon Power Plant.

According to Colorado Springs Utilities, the fire was in the dust collector from coal belts and the extinguishing systems turned on.

Initial reports were of an explosion but, according to utilities, there was no explosion. CSFD responded as a precaution.

Utilities says the fire is in a building where no one normally works and there was no impact to electric service generation.

Spokesman Dave Grossman says the utility is still working on gathering information and will get more information out on exactly what happened soon.

There were no injuries, and crews are still assessing the situation.

CSFD has since left the scene. Stay tuned to KRDO.com and Newschannel 13 for updates.
