A recent fire in the area has been described as a nightmare scenario by local firefighters. The Aspen Acres fire was a fast-moving blaze that posed a significant challenge to the volunteer fire department in Beulah.

The department, which has 27 members, was forced to fight to protect homes in the neighborhood. The fire was fueled by strong winds, with speeds reaching up to 100 mph.

Further details about the fire and the efforts of the Beulah volunteer fire department can be found in a report from the Colorado Sun.
