TL;DR

The Hogback Fire in Colorado was caused by a power line that was brought down by the wind. The fire led to pre-evacuation notices for Solterra and Red Rocks Ranch as well as the middle of the Town of Morrison, but the notices were taken down Friday evening. Firefighters faced difficulties in fighting the fire due to the strong winds. However, they managed to control the fire and spot fires on the east side of Dinosaur Ridge before it ran downhill.
