Fire officials have lifted an emergency evacuation for residents on the west side of Highway 115 from Barrett Road up to Gate 5 at Fort Carson.

 
It's fire season in Colorado Springs. Do you feel prepared to protect yourself and your home?
Yes, I pay close attention
Not really, I'd like to learn more
 

At noon on Wednesday, Fort Carson officials announced that 10 percent of the fire had been contained and it was burning just under 9,000 acres.

Around 3 p.m., officials announced that the threat to homes in the evacuated areas was considered minimal.

Thursday morning officials announced the Wednesday night's snowfall helped firefighters contain about 20-30 percent.

Highway 115, which was closed for about 24 hours has been reopened.

About 800 people received Reverse 911 calls Tuesday night and officials say about 60-70 percent of those called did evacuate.

Evacuation centers were set up at Fort Carson and Pikes Peak Community College.

For more information residents are asked to call 211 from land lines and 955-0742 from cell phones.

Fort Carson was not conducting controlled burns. The cause of the fire, which started Monday, is unknown.

Sheriff Terry Maketa is calling this the largest wildfire ever in El Paso County.

Just because we got 6 inches of snow doesn't really mean anything. With the wind speeds that we had it dried the snow out. So it really didn't have much moisture. Did you see how quickly it melted? It was dry.

Hey Anonymous, try using your real name, or are you afraid? Thanks for the kind words.

Jack, since you think you know everything about how to put a fire out, maybe next the the FD should call you and let you put it out quick and fast. I guess they really didn't need all those firefighters on the ground since you know how to take care of things like this. Get a life go back to working in Burger King and let the real firefighters do their job. To the firefighters, GReaT JOB in keeping everyone safe. Do not let one person like Jack get to you. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

To Jack, Let me help you understand containment of a fire. Containment means puuting an unburnable ring completely around the burn area. Ft. Carson fire burned 9000 acres. An acre is approx. the size of a football field. Now picture 9000 football fields and try to imagine how long that unburnable ring must be. Add to this that the fire is in rough terrain and a lot of it is in terrain not accessible by fire engines. A lot of work has to be done on foot by hand. About the moisture. Snow is a good source of moisture granted but it is also a good insulator. A hot pocket of embers may be covered by snow but it can retain the heat and when the snow melts and the fuels dry again the embers may ignite another fire. Be patient with Ft. Carson FD, they are good at their job and will be very meticulous in making sure the fire is properly contained (ringed) and controlled (out).
Posted by: Jack Location: Security on Apr 17, 2008 at 09:36 AM
How is the fire STILL not contained? we had 6 inches of snow last night, what is snow flammable? Get real, people. That fire is either dead or pretty near it. With this ammount of moisture, that thing will not flare up again.

Thank you to all the firefighters. Also prayers should be with the families that lost their loved ones.
Posted by: josh on Apr 16, 2008 at 10:07 PM
it is easy to blame someone when they are the last ones to be doing something that would cause it. they Army as you say would do anything to make themsleves look good no matter whether they did or not, what until the investigation is complete and then conclude your own story on what caused the fire. maybe it was just an accident. but people have the freedom of speech let them think what they want.
Posted by: you dont know the factes Location: Fort Carson on Apr 16, 2008 at 07:50 PM
ladys and gents i am a fire fighter and was on the fire gound. You can not say where the winds will blow this is colo and the winds change in a blink of an eye, So if they tell you to get out it is for your own safty. The fire fighters Are doing a great job give them a chance to do there job they are battling mother natcher. The news is doing a great job in reporting when the can there is always changes in a fire so give them a break. Sometimes maps are good but when you dont know what the weather is going to do maps dont really help. Thank god for fire fighters to look out for all of you who dont give them a chance. Why dont you go vol so know what it is like to do a tough job saveing lives.

I have an idea too. It's called posting a name. It's not like someone is going to find you.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Fountain on Apr 16, 2008 at 04:56 PM
I have an idea...until the Fire Chief says what started the fire, let's not assume the Army or anyone in paticular started the fire. No one will know the whole story and until the information is released....GIVE IT A BREAK! No one knows anything so stop assuming that you you do know!! And a HUGE thanks to the wonderful people who put their lives on the line to stop this fire and keep everyone safe!
Posted by: Firefighter Location: On break on Apr 16, 2008 at 04:45 PM
3 firefighters have died trying to keep homes and people safe in southern CO. Regardless of how the fires started it would be nice for you all to silently thank those who go into harms way willingly. Should probably say a thank you to the firefighters families who encourage them to do their jobs as well.

Evacuations lifted! PTL. I hope everyone gets safely to their locations...drive safe in the snow.
Posted by: Melissa Location: Ft. Carson on Apr 16, 2008 at 02:09 PM
We were at soccer practise when the man crashed from my home state. It's sad what's going on but you have to be pretty ignorant to blame anyone and use words like stupid when blaming anyone.

FORMER COLORADO SPRINGS RESIDENT WATCHING THE FIRE REPORTS ON OUR LOCAL PHOENIX STATIONS AND ALSO NATIONAL NEWS...HANG IN THERE, SNOW IS FORECAST FOR YOU TONIGHT WHICH SHOULD HELP.
Posted by: Marj Location: Fountain on Apr 16, 2008 at 01:18 PM
The smoke from the fire has taken a toll on on the City of Fountain, especially the people with allergies. We are only 1 mile East of Fort Carson and Tuesday night thick smoke and ash fell in Fountain just East of Highway 25. People in our neighborhood are sticking together and watching the fire closely. A map of where the fire is spreading would be a great help.
Posted by: Lucy Location: Canon City on Apr 16, 2008 at 12:54 PM
Did any other people driving towards Colorado Springs via 115 at 6 AM on April 15th notice a warning of "Heavy Smoke and slower speeds advised" posted on the electornic road signs just after Penrose? I thought that was strange. Didn't the fire start later that afternoon?
Posted by: Tryn Location: Highway 115 on Apr 16, 2008 at 12:46 PM
I am one of those evacuated from the area between Gate 5 of Fort Carson and Barrett rd. I think it's unnessacary to evacuate this area as the fire is a minimal threat to us. We've had no problems with smoke and it causes an unnecessary panic.

This is a very scary situation. With winds how they are, we should act now. This is the largest recorded wildfire in El Paso County History. We should hold a bake sale.
Posted by: Mary Location: Colorado Springs (Evacuee) on Apr 16, 2008 at 10:56 AM
I live west of Hwy 115, and I was evacuated last night. Are there going to be any updates about windows for those who were evacuated on short notice to pack up belongings? Since the evacuation was on such short notice, there was only time to grab the necessities.
Posted by: Taylor Location: work on Apr 16, 2008 at 10:50 AM
Living near Penrose, working in springs - and only knowing that the hwy is closed STINKS!!!!! - the link for the press conference does not work, there is NO new info on this site that is helpful to me at all!!! Most people would prefer to see a map w/location of fire and direction the fire is headed instead of multiple video of flames, multiple pictures of flames -- could you please post something useful.
Posted by: Anonymous on Apr 16, 2008 at 10:40 AM
The army was conducting burns the day before the fire started. This fire picked up again with the winds. Have the news dig deeper into the facts.
Posted by: Kaycee Location: Camp Pendleton CA on Apr 16, 2008 at 08:25 AM
I hope everyone in the surrounding area of the fire is safe! I personally lived threw the wildfires here in southern ca last summer and its not something i ever want to do again!Lets hope they get that fire out soon!
Posted by: Sally Location: colordao springs on Apr 16, 2008 at 06:33 AM
to Jessica, it was cleary stated on Monday that the Army was doing controlled burn. Tuesday the fire started from embers. this is from someone who knows the real story
Posted by: Linnes Location: Fort Carson on Apr 16, 2008 at 01:09 AM
they need to up date, don't be so quick to blame. the fire started off post near a home which he was burning trash and it spread to fort carson i was on 115 when investigators found where the blaze start so dont be so quick to blame thats the problem with the world now and days

I live 1 mile west of Gate 5. I would like to see on a map the track of the fire. I'm not home to even save my childrens pictures. I'm just sickened.
Posted by: Felicia Location: nevada on Apr 15, 2008 at 11:35 PM
I'm active duty in Nevada right now. My mom lives across from gate 5. she just evacuated. She said when she left that she could see flames. does anyone know how it looks right by the hospital/gate 5.
Posted by: Jess Location: Fountain on Apr 15, 2008 at 11:16 PM
I've heard reports that this fire has covered over 9,000 acres now. I'd really like to know where this fire is projected to move if it is unable to be contained. The wind is blowing the smoke directly into Fountain/Security leaving people with coughing fits and forcing some to disable their smoke-detectors which went off due to smoke leaking into the home. I'd like to know if it's just the smoke or if the fire is also moving this way as well.
Posted by: Courtney Location: Ft. Carson on Apr 15, 2008 at 11:11 PM
It really is annoying that people feel it best to blame the Army when they dont know the facts. I walked outside to put my trash out and just couldnt believe the haze. I hope the moisture we are expecting will knock this out. It's easy to blame the Army when you dont know the real cause.
Posted by: david Location: mountaindale campground on Apr 15, 2008 at 11:03 PM
we just received a "mandatory" 911 evac call. i hop in the truck and drive down to barrett and 115. two officers playing tiddlywinks tell us that the fire jumped to the west side of 115 and that everything is fine down here. i can hardly even see the fire anymore. it is moving towards you in town. if anyone is in danger it is more likely the people who called me to tell me to evacuate. if you are on barrett or south of barrett, don't worry. when they make a reverse 911 call, they just send out a blanket call to everyone. they should say between mile marker 35 and 42 on the west side. that would be my best guess for the evacuation. LOOKS LIKE THE WIND IS BLOWING FAVORABLY FOR US!

My home has smoke in it to the point of us coughing regular now. This wind is not good at all.Smoke is pouring over I-25 right into Security,Fountain area

I wish those people who dont know the facts of what caued the fire wouldnt be so quick to jump and blame the army for starting it.
Posted by: Jessica Location: Fort Carson on Apr 15, 2008 at 08:45 PM
If you read the article, you would have noticed that the Army was NOT conducting any controlled burns.
Posted by: Megan Location: Little Ranches, Fountain on Apr 15, 2008 at 08:32 PM
Hey I can see the Ft Carson Fire very well from my deck. I have a pretty good video of it but cant upload. WOW.....
Posted by: Kathy Location: Indian Village on Apr 15, 2008 at 08:30 PM
I live within a half-mile of Fort Carson. The Army has never taken into winds into consideration when starting "controlled" burns. They send up parachute flares, in order to illuminate the battlefield, in windy conditions which drift off base to start fires on our property. Just another case of Army indifference toward civilians and their property. Yo have to be pretty stupid to start a fire when 45 mile an hour winds are expected.

Posted by: jason Location: colorado springs on Apr 15, 2008 at 07:47 PM
With something like a wildfire, maybe you should include a map showing where the fire is spreading. Most people would prefer to know and see this than seeing video of flames. It's great that all the news channels are all covering the fire burning but not showing people in the surrounding area where the fire is currently at and where it might go based upon wind predictions and other possible things.
Posted by: Kyle Location: home on Apr 15, 2008 at 07:12 PM
The fire is looking to be under control, and that everyone in the area of the fire is safe. I hope th wind dies down, and the fire fighters can control it!!!
Posted by: sharlana Location: western co. on Apr 15, 2008 at 07:05 PM
when will the controlled burners figure out they need to listen to the weather and not do burns when the wind is predicted? is there no common sense left in the world?
Posted by: Lorren Location: Turky creack on Apr 15, 2008 at 06:53 PM

Posted by: Del Location: Cos on Apr 15, 2008 at 06:53 PM
You guys are spending tooooo much time on the fire that is going on... I don't mind getting an update every 30 minutes or so. When you take off all networking programs it gets riciculos. All three networks in town are doing the same thing. All you guys worry about is who is going to be the first ones to report on this. Forget it. It is not necessary. Thank you for letting me air my opinion.
