COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) said crews responded to a structure fire in the 2600 block of Durango Drive.
According to CSFD, the initial call came in as an explosion; that element is still under investigation.
Firefighters say the roof of the building has collapsed. The reporting parties did not believe anyone was entrapped, but crews can not officially confirm yet if no one was inside. There were no reports of any injuries, CSFD said.
KRDO13 spoke to a business next door that watched as the flames consumed the business.
"It started off with just a small puff of smoke. We didn't really think much of it, and sure enough, it just took off, engulfed in flames. And before we know it, walls started falling down and the building just started to collapse in, and there's just so many people trying to get their stuff...hopefully everybody was all safe," says David Tercero with Tercero Construction.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
