Fire in Fountain considered suspicious

The Fountain Fire Department tells our KRDO NewsChannel 13 crew at the scene that the fire burned about two acres. Around 2:00 p.m., the fire was fully contained.

Investigators say this fire is considered very suspicious. They suspect arson because there is nothing in the area that could have sparked a fire.

The fire department advises that people may continue to see smoke for a few more hours as crews clean up the fire.

Fountain Fire Department, Hanover Fire Department, Fort Carson, and El Paso Wildland and Brush all responded to help battle the flames.
