Prescribed Burn Gets Out Of Control And Damages Structures
WALDEN, Colo. (AP) - A prescribed burn that jumped containment lines destroyed three structures and charred about 600 acres of grass.
No injuries were reported, but the fire burned a mobile home that was used for storage, a pump house and a barn.
The fire began Friday west of Cameron Pass near Walden.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says crews started a prescribed burn on the Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge and it got out of control.
More than 30 firefighters and four aircraft were called in to fight the fire.
