Defensive House Fire, Sedalia, CO 2/20/14

[Guest]

At 8am West Douglas County Volunteers were dispatched a reported house fire on Cathedral Rock Drive.  Automatic aid from South Metro, Littleton & Jackson 105 was also requested on the initial dispatch.  Upon arrival crews found heavy smoke showing from the roof.  An interior attack was initiated and crews found a working attic fire.  The nearest water supply was several miles away which required a tender shuttle.  Crews worked inside for around 20 minutes before flames self vented from the roof and were wind driven.  A withdraw order was made and defensive ops began.
