FRANKTOWN, Colo. – Franktown Fire Department crews spent the better part of Saturday afternoon battling a large barn fire that was visible from miles away.
The fire was first reported just before 2 p.m. near Castle Point Drive. Viewers calling into the Denver7 newsroom reported the plumes of dark smoke could be seen from the Castle Rock and Parker areas.
Final update: Hay will make this fire difficult to extinguish. Crews will remain on scene for several hours to make sure fire does not spread into vegetation. pic.twitter.com/UATlvjGvo4
