ORIGINAL POST (Sunday evening, 06/01):
A wildfire burning in Huerfano County is prompting evacuations for residents in the Blackhawk Subdivision within a four mile radius of Cougar Trail and Four Mile Canyon Road. The fire, dubbed the Four Mile Canyon Fire, is about 10 miles west of I-25 and is about 15 acres and growing. There are no other evacuations at this time, and the Huerfano County Office of Emergency Management is requesting that the public limit travel in the area due to narrow roads so emergency traffic can get through. Evacuated residents can go to the Huerfano County Community Center in Walsenburg.
