On March 10th, 2023 at 12:14 South Metro Fire Rescue received several 911 callers reporting a vegetation fire burning in the open space at E. Otero Ave. and S. Monroe Way in Centennial. Some callers reported the fire to be spreading quickly with structures close by, which prompted a large wildland interface fire response from South Metro. Upon arrival, Engine 15 observed about half an acre of grass burning on top of a hill and began a direct attack using a progressive hose lay to stop the fire from advancing toward homes. As additional crews arrived, a combination of mobile attack with brush trucks and hand tools were used to quickly contain the fire. Firefighters remained on scene for about an hour extinguishing hot spots, the cause is under investigation. Additional information provided by South Metro Fire Rescue
