Douglas County’s wildfire response helicopter took to the air again on Tuesday as a new brush fire emerged after a series of brush fires near Louviers.

No structures were threatened in the new brush fire burning in open space near 6005 Ron King Trail east of Santa Fe Drive, according to South Metro Fire Rescue.

“Fire is moving to the southwest at a moderate rate of spread in heavy timber, brush and shrub oak,” fire officials said on social media platform X, adding that it is holding around five acres.

No evacuation orders are in place for the new fire.

The new brush fire burns along hot spots discovered as first responders continue to contain the “Airport fire” that began in the area on Sunday, which has burned more than 130 acres.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire, as dry conditions and high fire danger warnings continue in Colorado.

“Fire crews remain on scene due to lingering heat held within dense vegetation, which has created hazardous conditions — particularly fire-weakened trees that are at risk of falling,” Douglas County Sheriff’s Office officials said in a statement on Tuesday.

Despite “significant progress” on the Airport fire, “containment efforts remain active as hot spots continue to pose challenges,” officials said.

No injuries or structure damage has been reported in the series of brush fires, despite flames nearing some homes on Sunday.

However, incoming storms could pose a problem as crews continue to work in the area, according to fire rescue officials.

“Fire crews have made significant progress, but containment efforts remain active as hot spots continue to pose challenges,” officials said.

On Tuesday, crews from Douglas County Emergency Services Unit, South Metro Fire Rescue, Douglas County Public Works, Douglas County Incident Command, and the Division of Fire Prevention and Control worked to contain hot spots.

“We continue to closely monitor the Airport Fire and remain committed to ensuring the safety of our community as containment efforts move forward,” Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly said in the news release.

“I’m incredibly proud of the work done by all the responding agencies. Their dedication, teamwork, and rapid response made a tremendous difference in protecting lives and property,” he said.

It took 10 minutes for the Douglas County’s helicopter arrived on-scene Sunday. The helicopter also quickly responded to Tuesday’s brush fire, according to South Metro Fire Rescue.

The helicopter completed 88 water drops, amounting to about 26,400 gallons dropped onto the flames.
