July 15, 2014 - Esperanza Apartments : A fire started in the upper unit of an apartment during the mid morning hours. Crews made an aggressive interior attack and knocked down the fire within a few minutes. Numerous ground ladders were placed around the building and adjacent units in preparation of rescue. Fortunately all occupants were able to evacuate without injury. Access to the fire building was difficult due to it being one of the two buildings located at the end of a dead-end (essentially).

May 5, 2014 - Martin Drake Power Plant Fire : On May 5, 2014 at 9:40 a.m., Colorado Springs firefighters were dispatched to a reported structure fire at the Colorado Springs Utilities Martin Drake Power Plant, 700 Conejos Street. The first CSFD engine arrived within five minutes to find a large body of fire and a large volume of smoke coming from the building. Firefighters immediately began an aggressive interior fire attack and quickly knocked down the main body of the fire. The fire was declared under control at 12:42 p.m. Crews worked the afternoon and into the evening overhauling hot spots to ensure the fire was extinguished. CSFD responded to this four alarm fire call with a total of 23 fire apparatus and approximately 120 CSFD firefighters and support personnel were on scene. The quick and decisive actions taken by the first arriving fire crews and the Incident Commander resulted in the main body of fire being quickly extinguished and prevented additional damage from occurring. One Colorado Springs Utilities contractor was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries and later released. One Colorado Springs Utilities employee was evaluated on scene and released. There were no firefighter injuries.
