Colorado Fire Crews Battle Blaze Near US Air Force Academy

The United States Air Force Academy said its facility and Visitor Center were closed to the public on February 25, as it and Colorado Springs firefighters responded to a fire.

A pre-evacuation notice was issued for Pine Valley and Douglass Valley residents.

Drone footage from Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) shows the fire.
