Bishop Castle Saved by Firefighters | Denver News

Wildfires threatened the iconic Bishop Castle in Colorado, but firefighters saved it—and the surrounding trees—thanks to heroic efforts. Dan Bishop, the caretaker recovering from a fall that broke his ribs, expressed deep gratitude to first responders, noting he was lucky to be in rehab instead of at the castle. His father, the castle’s original builder, was known for his fiery temperament, but Dan shares his father’s fierce dedication. Though he’d have stayed to defend the castle if healthy, Dan now imagines the worst: flames eating away at the wood and weakening the concrete. Even in ruin, he believes the castle’s spirit would endure—and could still inspire visitors. Yet, amid the relief, Dan reminds us that while his castle is precious, others have lost their homes—each one a true, irreplaceable castle of their own.
