episode_narrativeA huge wildfire erupted Sunday afternoon. Lightning started a small ground fire which was fanned by strong southwest winds. The blaze quickly grew and eventually blackened nearly 14,000 acres. Hundreds of firefighters battled the wildfire, which closed the main route into the San Luis Valley from the east, La Veta Pass. The blaze also threatened hundreds of homes in Huerfano County, but efforts were successful in stopping the wildfire short. The fire was fully contained shortly before the end of the month. The fire started in the Malo Vega drainage (about 8 miles northeast of Fort Garland), but was incorrectly named Mato Vega, because a line on the topography map made the "l" look like a "t".
