Firefighters say a wildfire that broke out in grass and scrub oak near Cheyenne Mountain may have been started by lightning.
Colorado Springs Fire Lt. Brian Keys says the five-acre fire Friday likely was sparked by a lighting strike Thursday that smoldered.
He says there's no evidence of any suspicious activity.
The fire came within about 300 yards of homes, but firefighters say it did not move aggressively.
Two firefighters were treated for dehydration.

Quote of the Day
What is truth anyway? The truth is the essence of something, its natural state, something as it really is. It is really a quest for love, because to truly love something we must know it for what it really is. Perhaps we can sense in an unconscious way that there is a deeper truth to everything and everyone, and we are led to search for the truth about it, so that we can truly love it for what it really is.
- Joe Quinn
