A man and dog were found dead in a camper fire overnight Wednesday in Red Feather Lakes, the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office said.
Dispatchers received reports of a possible explosion and visible flames near Piney Knolls Drive just after midnight. First responders arrived and found a small camper on a private residential lot fully engulfed in flames.
When first responders were able to approach the camper, they found a man and a dog, the sheriff’s office said. Both were pronounced dead.
The Larimer County Coroner’s Office will release the man’s identity at a later time.
“Incidents like this have a lasting impact on loved ones, first responders, and the surrounding community,” said LCSO Captain Bobby Moll in a statement. “Our hearts go out to everyone affected by this tragic loss.”
No other structures were impacted by the fire, according to the sheriff’s office.
