West Metro used our drone on the structure fire on Totem Run in Roxborough on Saturday to provide another set of eyes. With a partial structure collapse, firefighter safety was a concern.

Firefighters said the fire had to be fought from the outside after a partial structure collapse made it too dangerous to fight from the inside. The home is a total loss.
Crews were at the scene overnight putting out hot spots as pockets of heat kept rekindling, according to West Metro Fire.
The cost of the damage is unknown.
