Here is a little more information from one of the Denver tv stations, plus there is also another one in a rugged mountain area that they think was started by a careless camper. Most of Colorado is under a fire ban because of the windy & dry conditions. Growing up there and camping a lot, I can remember fire was always a scarey threat. It makes me so sad to hear of this.

"JEFFERSON COUNTY
High Meadow Wildfire
Hundreds of people have been evacuated, and a handful of homes have been destroyed, as a wildfire burns out of control in the mountains Southwest of Denver. The fire is burning South of the town of Pine in Jefferson County. Fire officials say the fire has scorched eighteen hundred acres and destroyed at least eight homes.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's office and Platte Canyon Fire department are evacuating all residents living around the town of Pine, just South of Highway 285. A shelter has been opened at Conifer High School for people living east of the Park County, Jefferson County line. A shelter has also been opened at the Deer Creek Elementary School for residents living in the communities of Burland Ranch, High Meadows, Low Meadows, Holmes Gulch and Impala Trail.
