A wildfire, possibly human-caused, burned a manufactured home and 20 acres in the Los Pinos Fire District. The fire was reported just before 1 p.m. in the 9000 block of County Road 310, northeast of Bondad.



 

While the official cause was under investigation, officials suspect a property owner was burning trash or materials, and the pile either reignited or was left unattended.



 

A Mesa Verde Helitack helicopter was called off the 5-acre Piedra Fire in Archuleta County to assist with the blaze in La Plata County. Winds fanned the flames into pockets of dense fuel, creating a torching effect, said Steve Tolle, the pilot, during a break.



 

The blaze came within a quarter-mile of other structures, but there was a road between the flames and the homes, said Larry Behrens, Chief of the Los Pinos Fire District. Photo were provided by Yodit Gidey of the Durango Herald.
