Wildland fire near 11 Mile Reservoir

My best guess is the shooter/s were just the PCSO practicing for the next ROUGE KEG!!!! We have a too close neighbor that shoots off his fireworks every 4th. Hate the thought that he's gonna do it this year too....

Several of us have heard they were shooting at those small, portable propane canisters.

I did that one time and the expelled gases actually froze the grass nearby.

COLORADO SPRINGS - The Springer Fire - which is burning west of Colorado Springs - started Sunday afternoon and quickly grew from just a few acres to more than 450 acres as of Monday morning.

The fire is burning near Lake George. It is zero percent contained as of Monday.

Per the InciWeb link, the fire is up to 970 acres based on an aerial survey with GPS.

Fire officials are investigating the cause of the Springer Fire south of Lake George.

The manager at the Indian Paint Brush Ranch, who did not want her name used, said detectives were on the ranch property just before 11 a.m. Monday.

The manager told The Gazette that she and 10 others were horseback riding Sunday when they heard gunshots and an explosion, then immediately saw flames rise from some brush.

The group immediately rode back to the ranch stables and called 911, she said. The manager said a few of the riders reported seeing a truck with two men leaving the area about 30 seconds after the flames ignited.

When asked if those flames spread and turned into the Springer blaze, the manager said, "Oh, yes, definitely."

Greg Huele, a spokesman for fire officials, would not confirm any stories Monday morning. He said they were treating them as "just rumors" until the investigation was complete.
