COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A wind-driven grass fire at Fort Carson has spread across about 700 acres of a training range north of Butts Airfield.

Army officials say the fire was 80 percent contained Monday afternoon, and no structures are threatened.

The cause of the fire wasn’t immediately known. Army spokesman Randy Tisor said he did not know if there was any firing on the small arms range when the fire started.
