DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. — As the heat settles in across Colorado, local fire crews are staying busy, putting out several small vegetation fires in just the past few days.
A vegetation fire broke out Monday night near Thunder Ridge High School in Highlands Ranch. The cause is undetermined, but crews found several fireworks in the area. Willie said firefighters were quickly able to get a handle on the fire. The hot and dry conditions combined with the potential for fireworks during the upcoming Fourth of July holiday pose a high fire threat, according to SMFR.
He said some helpful tips to stay safe include having a fire extinguisher and a bucket of water nearby to properly dispose of fireworks. Also, have a hose nearby in case a fire sparks.
