The workshop and tools of nationally noted blacksmith and farrier Jim Quick were destroyed in a fire Sunday afternoon.
According to the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, the small shed at 6893 Niwot Road blew up around 2:30 p.m., just 15 or 20 minutes after Quick had left to talk with a friend.
“He was doing some work today, using the (propane) gas-fired torch,” said Sgt. Jim Dimond of the sheriff’s office. “He turned off everything, went into the house to take a break, and then 15 to 20 minutes later, there was an explosion.”
No one was injured in the fire.
