Another Fire Breaks Out In Douglas County
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4)- Another fire in Douglas County has some residents on pre-evacuation orders.
The Indian Creek fire is burning near Rampart Range Road and Highway 67.
Pre-evacuation notices have been requested from the 0000-3000 block of North Highway 67. That's about 10 miles west of Sedalia.
The fire was initially called Rampart 67 Fire but the name was changed to the Indian Creek Fire after the US Forest Service took command of the fire.
