PUEBLO, Colo. (KOAA) — The Pueblo Fire Department battled a grass fire and a structure fire in the city on Wednesday evening.

The department says the structure fire is minor and under control. Crews also contained the grass fire just west of Fountain Creek, which burned less than five acres. Crews say the fire was moving in two different directions because of the calm weather.

Crews will remain on scene Wednesday night to monitor hot spots.
