Home In Evergreen Fully Engulfed By Fire

EVERGREEN, Colo. (CBS4) - A large home in Evergreen was fully engulfed by fire early Monday morning. It began at approximately 5:30 a.m. at a home on Aspen Drive near Interstate 70.

Both the Evergreen Fire Rescue and Clear Creek County Foothills Fire Department assisted in fighting the flames.

Nearly 15 fire trucks were on scene, most of which carried water due to the lack of hydrants in the area.
