Clifton, CO – A late-night vehicle fire in Clifton prompted a swift multi-agency response Monday after flames threatened a nearby home and outbuilding.
According to the Clifton Fire Protection District (CFPD), crews were dispatched around 11:15 p.m. on October 8, 2025, to the 400 block of Morning Dove Court after reports of a motor vehicle on fire spreading toward a residence. Due to concerns that an elderly tenant might still be inside, mutual aid was requested from the Grand Junction Fire Department.
Upon arrival, firefighters discovered two vehicles fully engulfed in flames, with fire spreading toward a small outbuilding and dangerously close to the residence. Crews quickly initiated suppression efforts while conducting searches of both the home and surrounding structures.
Fortunately, all occupants were safely accounted for. Officials said the blaze was contained to the vehicles and outbuilding, preventing further damage to the residence. One person reportedly sustained minor burns during the incident.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, according to CFPD. The department expressed appreciation to the Grand Junction Fire Department and Mesa County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance at the scene.
