FREMONT COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) – The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office is ordering evacuations for homes near a 43-acre brush fire.
In a post on social media, the sheriff’s office says evacuations are ordered for a one-quarter-mile radius around High Park Rd and County Rd 352A.
The sheriff’s office says a major wind shift caused the evacuation.
The Canon City Fire Protection District says the fire is visible from parts of Canon City and is asking people not to call 9-1-1 about the smoke, as there are already multiple fire engines fighting the fire.
Evacuees and their animals can go to Pathfinder Park for shelter and help, the sheriff’s office says.
