AURORA, Colo. — Aurora Fire Rescue is investigating the cause of a vegetation fire that broke out along Interstate 225 on Friday afternoon.
The agency posted about the fire on social media at 1:17 p.m., saying the fire had burned about 100 feet by 100 feet on the north side of the highway near the RTD Dayton Station.
