RIFLE, Colorado – Rifle Fire Protection District firefighters quickly extinguished a house fire at 202 E. Second St. on Tuesday evening, according to fire district spokeswoman Maria Pina.
Firefighters were called to the scene at 8:32 p.m. and arrived within six minutes, where they found smoke and flames coming from a second story window in the multi-family structure.
