Fire at Former Golden West Milling Company

Colorado storage facility intentionally set on fire in 2009 erupted in flames early Tuesday

A Colorado storage facility that had been intentionally set on fire in 2009 erupted in flames early Tuesday, reports Denver 7.

The Longmont Fire Department responded to a call of a large structure fire, said Molly Cropp, spokesperson with the department. The fire department originally reported it was an abandoned building, but at 9:30 a.m. said it was actually being used for storage and to grow hemp.

The building is on the property of the former Golden West Milling Company, which closed in 1979.

In 2009, two teens were charged in connection to setting it on fire, which destroyed the vacant mill.
