COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- There's an evacuation order for 3831 N Cascade Av; Skylark Mobile Home Park due to a structure fire.

Residents are told to evacuate immediately.

The evacuation center is at Grace Baptist Church at 3500 N. Nevada Ave.

According to officials, eight mobile homes were completely lost due to the fire. CSFD says the fire spread rapidly due to the wind.
