Today at approximately 11:35 am we were paged out to Timpas Feedlot for a front end loader on fire north of the feedlot. La Junta Fire Department was requested with a tender and DFPC Engine 34 responded with an engine. Upon arrival DFPC Engine 34 was first on scene. Their scene size-up determined front end loader fully engulfed with no exposure hazards. We shortly arrived on scene with a brush truck and a tender. Shortly after all units arrived, fire was extinguished and all hazards mitigated. No injuries noted and Front end loader was a total loss with an unknown cause. All units cleared at approximately 12:30pm.

Rocky Ford Fire Department was dispatched to the scene of a rollover initially reported to be with 2 occupants and vehicle possibly in water at CR 805 and Hwy 71. En-route, it became clear more resources were going to be needed so Crowley County Ambulance Service and Med Trans were dispatched as well due to 4 occupants with injuries. Locating the vehicle was difficult at first but became successful after the parent of one of the occupants used a Life360 app to more accurately pinpoint location. RFFD was the first EMS and rescue units on scene and became incident command to unify response among agencies. A helicopter was dispatched to the scene by RFFD. There was also a sheriff’s deputy injured during efforts to get to the car. The response was quick by all agencies, 1 patient was flown to Memorial Central, 2 transported to Parkview by ground and 2 to AVRMC in La Junta by ground. Thank you to all law enforcement and other responding agencies for your help on scene.
