It was an early Sunday morning November 7 for Raton Fire and Emergency Services and Colfax County District 8 Rapid Response fire fighters as they responded to a house fire at 6:06 a.m. at 220 N 4th Street.

The residence was occupied by one individual who made it out of the house without injuries. Upon arrival fire fighters found the house fully engulfed in flames and smoke. It took fire fighters several minutes to get the fire under control and had the fire out and cold by 9:00 a.m.

Raton Fire Chief Anthony Burk noted the fire is under investigation with the cause not noticeably apparent.
