Ashley Franco, Public Information Officer with the Colorado Springs Fire Department, says that one firefighter sustained minor injuries while fighting the blaze but was treated on scene and will be alright.
Franco said the first engine to be called to the fire around 4:00 a.m. could see the flames and glow of the fire on approach and immediately called in extra support.
The two-alarm fire occurred inside an auto body repair shop that at this time is being considered a total loss, as the flames spread Franco said explosions could be heard in the surrounding neighborhood. Crews worked as quickly as possible while dealing with icy conditions from the morning cold.
It is unclear if there were any injuries at this time and the cause is still under investigation.
