Castle Creek Wildfire – 4/6/12

[Show as slideshow]

Chris Council/Aspen Daily News
Firefighters work Friday afternoon to ensure that all hot spots are contained within a section of forest bordering Castle Creek Road near the intersection of Conundrum Creek Road. A fire broke out at approximately 1 p.m. when high winds blew a tree into adjacent power lines, sparking a blaze that affected an estimated two acres. Fire crews from the Aspen and Snowmass fire departments quickly responded to the blaze and were able to extinguish it completely in less than an hour. Castle Creek Road was temporarily closed and electric customers in the area lost electricity while Holy Cross worked to restore power. Deputy Aspen Fire Chief Rick Balentine reiterated that this was another example of the extreme dryness facing the Roaring Fork Valley and the importance of being vigilant and observing the current fire ban.
