Colorado Fire Sparks After Crash | Fresno News

A wildfire erupted in Mariposa County, California, after a collision between two commercial trucks—now dubbed the Colorado Fire. Blazing fast due to steep terrain and wind, it scorched 171 acres by 3:15 PM, forcing mandatory evacuations of a popular campground and closing Highway 140 from Briceburg Bridge to Yosemite Bug Hostel. The American Red Cross has opened a shelter at New Life Calvary Chapel Mariposa. Authorities are still investigating the crash as the suspected cause. Stay tuned for updates.
