A wildfire has started in Teller County in the Highland Lake area near Divide. Most of the areas near the fire have been evacuated and smoke is not expected to travel far from the fire due to it's relatively small size and the alignment of nearby drainages, so major public health impacts from smoke are not anticipated. However, you may see some smoke north of Highway 24 if you are travelling west out of Divide heading towards Florissant. We will provide further updates if the fire does get more active.
The Highland Lake wildfire is located a little over one mile north of State Highway 24 to the west of Divide in Teller County.
