COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The Colorado Springs Fire Department is on the scene of a grass fire in Palmer Park on Wednesday morning.
According to crews on scene, the fire is burning roughly 100 square feet inside the park. The department said there are several spot fires around the area.
In an update at 6:00 a.m., crews on scene said the fire was a quarter of an acre in size and that they had established a containment line around the fire.
There is no cause of this fire at this point, but with red-flag conditions across the state today, the department said this is a good reminder that weather conditions will lead to fire spreading rapidly.
Where the fire was located inside the park was not immediately made clear.
