DENVER (KDVR) — West Metro Fire Rescue responded to a small brush fire near The Fort restaurant in Morrison on Wednesday afternoon.

The restaurant is in the 19000 block of Colorado Highway 8 in Jefferson County, near the intersection with U.S. 285. Crews responded at about 3 p.m. The agency announced the fire was contained at about 4 p.m.

The agency said the fire burned about 3 acres, mostly grass and brush oak.

The fire also moved away from structures, according to West Metro Fire. The agency responded to the fire almost simultaneously as when crews began ramping up for the Lake Shore Fire in Boulder County, which has burned at least one structure.
