Good morning, Castle Rock. Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 14th of April.

ACCIDENTS NEWS

  • A fire broke out behind Pine Grove Elementary School in the Stonegate neighborhood Saturday around 4:30 p.m. — firefighters quickly contained the fast-spreading flames with no injuries or evacuations while investigators examine its suspicious origin.  Denver7

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

  • Officials reported that a human-caused Turkey Track Fire burned 128 acres near the shooting range at Highway 67 and Rainbow Falls; campers at the nearby campground were evacuated while crews worked to strengthen firelines amid hot, dry winds—conditions that helped the fire spread quickly. Authorities later confirmed the fire did not cross Highway 67 and continued fighting hotspots as red flag conditions challenged containment.  Denver7

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Douglas County commissioners approved a $350,000 service agreement with nonprofit TESSA on March 25 to open a domestic violence shelter that will offer safe housing and support; the shelter building, purchased in November 2024, will open mid-to-late summer and its location will remain confidential to protect residents.  Denver7
  • House Bill 25-1017 aims to codify the 1999 Supreme Court ruling to protect the rights of people with disabilities to receive home care instead of being forced into institutions—advocates say this change is long overdue; it passed the House Appropriations Committee last Friday and will face a full House vote Tuesday.  Denver7
