 State Park. Grand Junction Fire says it started small, but blew up in strong winds in an area of heavy fuels. Pre-evacuation notices were sent to residents in the South Rim neighborhood above the Redlands Power Canal, then lifted about 45 minutes later. Putting out the fire was a team effort, with units from no fewer than a half dozen agencies helping out, along with private companies with water resources to assist fire engines refilling tanks in areas where no other water sources were available.
