Aspen Acres Fire Threatens Colorado Towns | Denver News

A wildfire in southern Colorado is tearing through Aspen Acres, having already burned over 91,000 acres and becoming the state’s seventh-largest blaze in history. Towns including Colorado City, Rye, and Beulah are under evacuation orders as more than 150 homes are lost. Over 1,300 firefighters, including reinforcements from California, battle the rapidly spreading flames—now dangerously close to the iconic Bishop Castle. With only 12% containment, residents face a desperate race against time, even as authorities urge evacuees to cut fences to save livestock. The fight is far from over.
