At 14:07 August 13th, 2020 South Metro Fire Rescue responded to numerous 911 reports of a house fire in the 7600 block of Deertrail Dr. in Douglas County. A large plume of black smoke was already visible for miles as emergency personnel responded. First arriving Battalion Chief 4 found a 2-car detached garage fully engulfed with flames, spreading to an adjacent home, trees and grass. Reports of explosions, a power line down and no fire hydrants in the area made for a very serious and challenging scene. Firefighters prevented the wildland fire from spreading to neighboring properties and saved as much of the home as possible. Thankfully no injuries occurred, and the cause of the fire is under investigation. Additional information provided by South Metro Fire Rescue
