House fire by the Safari Ranch off of Hwy 285 - Gap Fire

From Elly Cachet Gray: House fire by the safari ranch off 285

Red White & Blue Fire Dept Battalion 6 approaching the scene to assist. Working on the fire from multiple flanks to keep it from spreading.

Fire is getting into the trees on one side of the house. Designating one crew as the wildland group. Venting the propane tank at this time, pulling all units back.

There's a little bit of fire in the wildland around the house on the Alpha Bravo sides, not in trees there, only "skunking" on the ground.

Discovered a stream on the property that is a suitable water source for the pump truck if needed. They are shuttling water in using portable ponds at the moment.

The house is reported as a total loss. Power has been turned off at the transformer.
