COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – Colorado Springs fire crews say they responded to multiple cars on fire early Tuesday morning, with heavy smoke visible in the northern part of the city.
The Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) responded to the scene at around 6:45 a.m. on Feb. 10 after a passerby reported the fire in an alley just east of the East Polk Street and North Nevada Avenue intersection.
