BAYFIELD, CO: On July 21st, 2007 at approximately 19:23 hours the Upper Pine River Fire District was dispatched to a report of a house hit by lightning at 602 Magnolia Court. The first arriving engine company encountered smoke showing from the single family dwelling and found a well developed fire in the attic area above the garage. Upon the arrival of Deputy Chief Randy Larson, a request was made for all available Upper Pine Firefighters to respond to the working fire.

Firefighters made their initial attack from the interior, but limited access and an extending fire created the need to utilize exterior lines for a short period. At one point in the fire attack the garage ceiling collapsed, triggering debris and a portion of the garage door to fall. With access to that portion of the attic now wide open, firefighters made short work of the remaining fire. The incident was brought under control in approximately one hour. A thunderstorm had passed through the Bayfield just prior to the receipt of this alarm.
