CSFD responds to structure fire, one person displaced

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) responded to a structure fire at 448 Alteza Dr.

Officials say the bulk of the fire has been extinguished, but crews have a long overhaul process ahead of them and will be on scene until tomorrow morning.

We spoke to neighbors who watched as the flames broke through their neighbor's roof.

"The flames were like, outside of the building, kind of pouring out of it right up the side of the house. It was pretty intense to see something like that," says Dorian Frilot, a neighbor.

"While I was on the phone with 911, I got my dogs, put them in the car, and then just drove across the street. Got the heck out of here," says a neighbor living in the cul-de-sac, Brian Stewart.

According to CSFD, one person was inside the home and is being evaluated for minor burns and smoke inhalation.

One person has been displaced, says CSFD.
