@uMD420 lighten up we're trying to have fun

[Colorado Springs Fire Department @CSFDPIO]

Good morning, bestie boos, we need your help!!!
We have a whole fleet of drones that serve our community in a variety of ways, and there’s just one tiny problem…

THEY NEED NAMES.

Because tell us how cute it would be to post: “Video provided by: [insert drone name here].”

So, we’re turning this one over to you.

We’re looking for fun, creative names for our drones. And before you ask: if you submit “Big Brother” or “Droney McDroneface,” there is a very strong chance it’s going directly into the trash.

You have ONE WEEK to submit your best ideas at the link below.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

#ColoradoSpringsFire is on scene of a vehicle fire in the area of Delaware Dr and E Bijou St.

Engine 8 is on scene and has knocked down the bulk of the fire. A large van was fully engulfed with fire spreading to a van next to it when firefighters arrived.

This is the second time today we’ve had issues with people driving over fire hose on a fire scene. Please turn around if you come up to an emergency scene do NOT drive over fire hose, that damages the hose, could cause it to burst, cut off water supply and create safety hazards for all involved.

The fire has been knocked down. Crews will remain on scene until full extinguishment is reached and the investigation into the cause is complete.

Expect westbound lanes of E Platte Ave at E Boulder St to be closed for several more hours.
