episode_narrativeStrong winds ignited a wildfire northwest of Olathe in the Dry Creek area. Wind gusts around 60 mph blew ash from a smoldering pile of debris into nearby grasses, igniting them. The fire quickly spread and crossed from Montrose County into Delta County. At least 12 structures wear reportedly threatened. Flame lengths from 30 to 50 feet were observed. The fire lapped at the side of some homes, singed lawns, and crept under some porches. Although no structures were lost, 20 homes were evacuated as a precaution. It was estimated that between 600 and 1200 acres burned before the fire was contained. One fire fighter was treated for smoke inhalation and another suffered minor burns and smoke inhalation.
