At approximately 3:08 p.m. a fire broke out in the Westerly Creek Damn in Lowry, in which large portions of the wildlife sancturay were destroyed. According to Denver Shift Commander Greg Champlin, the fire began in thick brush within the sanctury itself and quickly spread to the south. “Though winds were high, we were lucky today,” stated Champlin, “the winds kept circling around until the fire pretty much put itself out.”
