[dw2872]

Happening at 7905 Davenport Rd, fully involved house fire (and vehicle) that began in the garage (5 to 6 people were trying to put it out before FD arrived) and 7 others structures threatened. Garage contained acetylene torches and other tanks. One person injured with inhalation issues.

Tri-County was first on scene, and others involved are Calhan FD, Edison FD, Ellicott FD, and Simla FD.

Two El Paso County deputies are also enroute due to previous history at the address.

Mountain View Electric enroute ETA one hour.

Hearing coordination on EPSO RED, EPSO C3, Tri-County FD admin, and others

Knock on the fire. They are in mop up.

Yep. I've never seen so many FDs respond to a single house fire before though. Ellicott FD still arriving and 2 more Simla FD units still enroute for the mop-up.

Not sure what is on the MDT's but everyone is aware of the house having red flags.

Sounds about right. When EPSO dispatched on RED they didn't mention a BOLO on the address but the locals asked for deputies due to the previous history there (EPSO dispatcher mentioned previous fights and stabbings? when dispatching deputies).

Davenport Command just aired that fire was knocked at 11:58 am and mop-up in progress. Silma Ambulance and AMR o/s as well as the 2 deputies.

Arson investigator enroute ETA 20 minutes.

Just heard the deputies on EPSO-2 say they are working on accounting for all the civilians on scene but they do know a dog died.
