Tragedy in Floodwaters After Aspen Acres Fire | Colorado Springs News
Description
An 80-year-old man lost his life after being swept away by flash floods near Beulah, marking the first fatality tied to the Aspen Acres fire. Heavy rain turned burn-scarred terrain into deadly swift water, catching many off guard—even those in vehicles. Emergency crews found his body over a mile downstream amid a weekend of hazardous weather and multiple rescues. Authorities warn: “Turn around, don’t drown.” Governor Jared Polis has extended condolences and announced state efforts to assess damage from both fires and floods, potentially seeking federal disaster aid as communities brace for recovery.
