Arvada Fire Protection District crews responded to a house fire in the 4600 block of Miller Street overnight.

The initial calls were received at 11:39 pm on October 21, 2009.

Fire crews found fire coming from the roof of the two-story home.

The fire was brought under control approximately 45 minutes later.

Initial reports were that everyone was able to exit the home on their own and all searches of the home confirmed that.

There were no civilian or fire fighter injuries during this fire.

The cause of this fire is under investigation.

According to the U.S. Fire Administration, more than 4,000 Americans die each year in fires and approximately 20,000 are injured. The fire protection combination of a working smoke alarm and a home fire sprinkler system can reduce the likelihood of death by more than 80%. Home fire sprinklers automatically contain a fire, preventing it from spreading. Only the sprinklers in the fire area are activated.

The Arvada Fire Protection District provides protection to the part of the city of Wheat Ridge that is north of Clear Creek.

Scott Pribble is the Public Information Officer for the Arvada Fire Protection District.
