The fire has scorched 5,000 acres, destroyed 8 homes and caused the evacuation of 2,000 people. CDOT has paid $5,000 to each of the owners whose homes burned down. That obviously isn't going to cover the replacement costs for the homes and the personal belongings in the homes. What isn't described in the article is where the spark originated from - exhaust without a proper spark arrestor or the backhoe bucket striking a rock and causing a spark. Also not explained is whether the crew did anything to try and douse the fire when it started.
