Fatal Fire At 11:52 pm Saturday (01/03/2015), firefighters from the Greeley Fire Department were called to 711 26th Ave, #9, in Greeley on a report of a structure fire. Upon arrival, fire crews found a fully involved mobile home. At the time of the fire department’s arrival all occupants were out of the home and Greeley Police Officers were assisting them with first aid. Fire crews immediately assisted with care of the victims while other crew members began an aggressive attack on the fire which was impinging on neighboring homes. A second alarm was called to bring more personnel and equipment to the scene to assist because of the extremely harsh cold weather conditions (total of 27 fire personnel on scene). Fire crews were able to bring the fire under control within 30 minutes. Care of the fire victims was turned over to Banner Paramedic Services upon their arrival and a total of 3 citizens were transported to North Colorado Medical Center. One of the fire victims, a juvenile female, died at the hospital. Adjoining homes sustained some minor fire and heat damage. The home where the fire occurred is a complete loss. Fire Department investigators are conducting a joint investigation with the Greeley Police Department to determine a cause of the fire. There were no injuries to firefighters or police officers during the incident despite temperatures near 0 degrees F.
