Shortly after 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, the Glenwood Springs Fire Department responded to a structure fire in the Three-Mile area.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was in Garfield County,\u201d Glenwood Springs Fire Chief Gary Tillotson said. \u201cIt\u2019s in the Glenwood Springs Rural Fire Protection District.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a news release issued by the Glenwood Springs Fire Department, upon arriving on scene, firefighters were met with heavy smoke emanating from a mobile home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe original 911 call came from a neighbor,\u201d Tillotson said. \u201cShe was a little bit uncertain as to who may or may not actually be in the (mobile home).\u201d<\/p>\n

Firefighters immediately searched the residence, as it continued to burn, and were able to confirm no one was inside.<\/p>\n

Within 20 minutes, firefighters had substantially extinguished the blaze Tillotson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took another hour or hour-and-a-half for final mop-up but they had initial knockdown in about 20 minutes or less,\u201d Tillotson said.<\/p>\n

According to Tillotson, no people or pets were injured as a result of Tuesday morning\u2019s mobile home fire.<\/p>\n

Tillotson did say however that the mobile home would be a \u201ctotal loss\u201d due to significant smoke, fire and water damage.<\/p>\n

Tillotson believed approximately 25% of the mobile home sustained flame and water damage but extensive smoke damage throughout the mobile home resulted in a total loss.<\/p>\n

The Glenwood Springs Fire Department was dispatched to the structure fire at \u201caround 9:32 a.m.\u201d according to the news release.<\/p>\n

Colorado River Fire Rescue and the Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District also provided mutual aid.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had one of Glenwood Springs\u2019 water tenders and then we had a water tender from Carbondale hauling water,\u201d Tillotson said. \u201cWe feel like we probably used about 3,000 gallons of water.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Tillotson, none of the adjacent properties in the area were damaged due to the fire; however, a nearby storage shed was exposed.<\/p>\n

As of Tuesday afternoon, the cause of the fire was unknown.<\/p>\n

The Garfield County Fire Investigation Team, in conjunction with the Glenwood Springs Fire Department are still investigating Tuesday morning\u2019s mobile home fire.<\/p>\n
