Additional personnel from the Cherry Creek Volunteer Fire Department were called in to provide mutual aid.
Owens said crews were able to get the fire under control in an hour, and remained on scene to put out hot spots for another hour. The flames were contained to the one home. Bishop Crescent was closed off between Haslam Drive and Grieve Road during the fight, according to a social media post from the fire department.
