Wildfire Threatens Red Rocks Season-Opening Concert.

A fast-growing wildfire estimated at 25-30 acres has prompted pre-evacuation orders for Morrison, the Solterra Subdivision of Lakewood, and the Red Rock Ranch neighborhood at C-470 in Colorado due to strong winds. A second fire was also reported in Aurora but was contained before 4:30 p.m. Highway 93 is closed from I-70 to Morrison, and residents in pre-evacuation areas should be prepared to leave immediately if an evacuation order is put in place. Extra resources are being called to assist with the fire, and there is no word on the cause yet.
