Per CSP_Gaming:
US 6 is CLOSED between US 40 and Colorado 119 due to a small wildfire. @ClearCreekSO and fire are on scene working to get it out. Please use alternate routes to the casinos.

Not quite enough reach to get water on the flames-looks like the guys on foot are going to have to fight it the old-fashioned way. One of the firefighters on scene described wild land firefighting as “high speed gardening.”
