GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. -- A 911 call and a fast response from firefighters kept a carpet scrap fire from potentially destroying a Glenwood Springs business.A trailer filled with carpet scraps and flooring installation items was found on fire early Tuesday morning in Glenwood Springs. The Garfield County Emergency Communications Center received a 911 call at 4:47 a.m. The trailer was next to a Carpet One store at 2628 Glen Avenue. Firefighters reported 15-foot flames from the trailer. Eight firefighters were able to put the flames out in five minutes.
