Boulder Fire Rescue and other agencies fully contained a wildfire early Wednesday that erupted late Tuesday night and spread just shy of an acre between Boulder Canyon and Flagstaff off of Artist Point.
Fire officials said via social media that there were no injuries and that they were not aware of damage to any structures.
Boulder Fire Rescue responded to the slow-moving blaze named the Realization Fire around 11 p.m. Tuesday, according to the agency.
No evacuations were issued.
Fire crews traversed rocky and steep terrain to put out the flames, officials said.
Around 1 a.m. Wednesday, Boulder Fire Rescue said the fire was contained and that crews were putting out hot spots. Shortly after 2 a.m., Boulder Fire Rescue confirmed the Realization Fire was 100% contained and that crews would remain on scene to monitor the area.
The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time, Boulder Fire Rescue said.
Weather conditions along the Front Range have been exceptionally dry, according to data from the National Weather Service.
On average, Denver records its first snow by Oct. 18. The last time measurable snow fell in Denver this year was on April 18, according to the weather service. By Friday, it will have been 217 days without snow — the sixth-longest snowless stretch recorded in the city.
If Denver doesn’t see its first snowfall of the season on Friday, it will officially be the city’s second-latest on record.
