CONIFER, Colo. (CBS4)– A middle school teacher lost everything when her Conifer home burned to the ground on Tuesday. Dawn Beck was out of the country on a school-sponsored trip when the fire ignited.
Beck says she knows what caused the fire and shared the information with her coworkers Jan Creel and Carol Miner.
“They have a propane tank where they live in the mountains and it blew up,” said Miner.
The home engulfed by the flames belonged to Beck, a teacher at Evergreen Middle School.
Beck shared the home with her husband, son and mother. She was on a trip to Iceland with some of her students when the fire happened. Her co-workers stepped up to bring her home.
