At 23:16 on June 12th, 2020 South Metro Fire Rescue responded to multiple reports of a large vegetation fire burning in the open space west of Mountain Vista High School in the Highlands Ranch Metro District. When crews arrived, they found approximately 3-acres of grass and brush burning in rugged terrain with gusty wind conditions. Although there are homes nearby, none were threatened, and no evacuations were needed. A direct attack was used to flank the fire which was quickly contained. Extensive “mop up” was needed to extinguish hot spots in the burn area and crews remained on scene for over 2 hours. No injuries occurred and Investigators returned to the scene in daylight to continue their work. This was the second challenging wildland fire of the evening, the first occurred on the southwest side of Chatfield State Park. Additional information was provided by South Metro Fire Rescue
