Approximately 45 firefighters and 11 pieces of apparatus responded to a report of a garage fire at 17611 North Canyon Trail this morning. Upon arrival firefighters found the garage fully involved, the fire was spreading into the surrounding trees and the house. Firefighters attacked both the fire in the garage and the fire which had extended into the surrounding grass and trees. The home was saved with minimal damage to a porch area.

Thanks to Inter-Canyon Fire Rescue, Elk Creek and Indian Hills Fire Departments for all of their efforts today, and every day!

Just a question for clarification, was this incident on North Canyon Trail or North Canyon Road? It is very difficult to keep track of the suffixes in this area.

Again, Thanks!
