At 08:49 on November 16, 2015 Poudre Fire Authority responded to a fire alarm at 250 W. Prospect Rd. The fire alarm call turned into an actual fire for firefighters in a student housing complex. Engine 3 arrived and found a three-story apartment building with smoke showing from the third floor. As they were preparing to enter the building, fire and smoke broke out of a bedroom window on the third floor facing Prospect Rd. Firefighters worked in a coordinated fashion to find and extinguish the fire in addition to searching the entire building for any trapped occupants.  The fire was brought under control in little more than fifteen minutes from when the call was received. One residence suffered heavy fire damage to one bedroom along with heat and smoke damage throughout the unit. Other units on the third floor sustained minor smoke damage; even less so on floors one and two.  PFA Customer Assistance Response Team (CART) worked with the property manager to provide temporary housing and other assistance to residents.  No further information was available. Additional information provided by Poudre Fire Authority
