COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Firefighters were called to a house fire that was reportedly engulfed in flames Thursday evening near S. Academy Boulevard.

Emergency crews went to the house near the 3000 block of Pinnacle Drive. According to the Colorado Springs Fire Department, it was a two-alarm fire as of 6:20 p.m.
