Firefighters respond to fire at Castle Rock Elementary School

Denver (KDVR) – The Castle Rock Fire and Rescue Department responded to a fire at Castle Rock Elementary School at about 2:10 am on Saturday.

CRFD He said Its units discovered an active fire in one of the mobile classrooms located to the south of the main building, after responding to a reported fire warning.

The agency said it was “immediately” the upgrade of the fire into a commercial structure fire and that “the appropriate additional units” responded and managed to extinguish the fire “without further accident.”

No injuries were reported to firefighters or civilians, according to CRFD, who said that the fire had resulted in “great” damage in the mobile classroom.

The school said, in a letter sent to the families and witnessed by Fox31, that the accident “will not affect the beginning of the normal year for our students or our employees.”

Fox31 had the opportunity to meet Cassie Harris, a member of the Parents and Teachers of the Castle Rock Elementary, who spoke about the fire, saying that everything seems “beautiful and gentle” for the next academic year and after the fire, “Everything has gone.”

Harris said: “We are very grateful, it was in the middle of the night, and there was no one there, and no one was at school, and it was before the school started, and it was not obliged, as you know, to intimidate any of the children.”

The investigation of the fire continues. However, CRFD said it “does not seem to be suspicious of nature.”
