Keep a Moffat County family in your prayers. The holiday season was marred when a fire broke out in a residential home on Monday, December 24th, the Craig Daily Press reports. Scanner traffic identified that the home had a family of four and the 3-year-old child was lost in the fire. “About
10:20
, officers were dispatched to a house fire,” Craig Police Captain Bill Leonard said. “They were informed that there was a child still inside. They attempted several times to get in and were pushed back at every attempt and could not get to the room where the child was.” An emergency responder sustained minor injuries trying to get to the child and was treated at the scene. It is not known what caused the fire but the Colorado Bureau of Investigation is completing an arson investigation. The Red Cross is providing support and taking care of immediate needs of the family. Those that wish to help can contact Karen Brown, the director of The Community Budget Center, at
