A fire at a condominium complex near Steamboat Resort sparked the evacuation of about 30 people on Tuesday afternoon.
Just after 2 p.m., Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue firefighters received a report of flames on the roof at the Bear Claw II condominium complex in the 2400 block of Ski Trail Lane.
“It wasn’t very large — about the size of a campfire,” according to Deputy Fire Chief Chuck Cerasoli.
Cerasoli did not know the precise cause of the fire but mentioned that workers were doing construction on the roof at the time.
By the time he and his crew arrived, the flames were mostly out. A group of about 30 residents had fled their units and were standing outside, along with the property manager.
