A fire at the Stage Stop LLama Farm of Jeff and Sally Rucker turned out to be a couch in the front yard of a rental home, a rural Teller County residence near Evergreen Station on Teller County 1. Passersby Tom and Donna Hatton saw the flames and realized that the fire had traveled to the porch of the home and was speading rapidly to the front door and beyond. After reporting the fire, local rancher Tom Hatton Sr. began working to remove the materials located near the flaming couch to reduce the fuel that was feeding the ever growing spead of flames. It was discovered that the renters of the home were inside and had not heard the alarm being called out to them by the people trying to put out the fire. Local volunteer firefighters and emergency services from Teller County Four Mile Fire Protection District and from Cripple Creek arrived on the scene and brought the remains of the fire under control and gave emergency medical aide to the occupants within the house. Thanks to the efforts of Tom Hatton Sr., the quick response of the volunteers of Four Mile Fire Protection District and the Emergency Medical Services a tragedy was averted without loss of life and with only a slightly scorched home and front yard to show for an afternoon's fire.
