At 17:30 on July 22nd, 2016 Fairmount Fire Protection District was alerted to a wildland fire on North Table Mountain, with Jefferson County Open Space Park Rangers reporting smoke and flames showing near the tower on the the northside of Table Mountain, and receiving multiple 911 calls of smoke showing widely visible from the top. Crews arrived to several acres involved, and requested mutual-aid from Golden Fire Department, West Metro Fire Rescue & Arvada Fire Protection District.
