Pueblo fire update: What’s burning in Colorado? Videos emerge

A fire has reportedly erupted in Pueblo, Colorado, around 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. Initial reports suggest the blaze began in a field adjacent to the Colorado Mental Health Hospital. According to Pueblo Independent News, witnesses captured video footage of a dense column of black smoke emanating from the vicinity. The smoke was visible from a considerable distance and led investigators to an old railyard with deteriorating rail ties on fire.

Social media posts from multiple witnesses described seeing large plumes of smoke rising from the area, though the exact origin and cause of the fire remain unverified. One observer noted the presence of railroad ties and tires, while others remarked on the size and visibility of the fire.
