At 16:38 on November 4th, 2020 Lands End Fire Protection District was dispatched for multiple calls reporting two tents on fire at Colorado Hemp Solutions processing site, 910 Coffman Rd. Callers on scene reported a large dryer on fire and other callers reported two plastic tents on fire at the location with people running around. Additional callers reported black pluming smoke coming from the address. Smoke could be seen from downtown in the city as well. First unit arrived and sized up two tents, one well involved with a machine on fire as well. First due unit pulled an attack line and declared an offensive strategy and established Coffman Command. The fire involving the tents was knocked down quickly, but crews had a difficult time knocking down fire in the machine. At 18:18, Coffman IC declared knockdown. The fire marshal was advised of the situation but did not respond. There were no hydrants in the area and water supply was an issue. The fire was knocked down with available water on-scene and site employees provided two 5,000 tenders to assist with water supply.
