Investigators say three teenagers may be to blame for a brush fire that broke out in the Lowry neighborhood Sunday.
The fire burned around 30 acres near Alameda Avenue and Fairmount Drive.
The Denver Fire Department says three teens were interviewed Monday about the fire; no charges have been filed.
According to Denver Fire, the flames would have been easier to manage if the city had a fire station in that area.
“Almost right proximal to that fire is the proposed site for a fire station we’re trying to build, Denver Fire Station 18, the Lowry station, which has been approved for over a couple of years. We’re still awaiting site acquisition. That’s the only thing that’s holding us back,” Lt. Phil Champagne with the Denver Fire Department said.
Denver Fire says it has agreements with more than 50 other jurisdictions in case the department needs help. A number of those groups were on the scene on Sunday.
