ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. -- A brush fire burned eight to ten acres at Cherry Creek State Park Wednesday morning.
The fire was first spotted near the east entrance, off Parker Road, at about 3 a.m.
Gusty winds quickly spread the fire, and firefighters had to truck in water, because there are no fire hydrants in the area, officials said.
Twenty units from Cunningham and South Metro Fire fought the fire.
It was under control by 4:10 a.m., officials said.
