Be careful out there, we are experiencing perfect conditions for a wildfire. A spark plus high winds is a recipe for almost instant devestation.
A potentially damaging wildfire in the mountains west of Boulder was contained before it could be spread by high winds Tuesday.
The fire began at around 2 p.m. on private property west of the Betasso Preserve, according to the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office. The fire burned approximately one-quarter acre before 35 firefighters were able to control it.
