A wildfire burning on more than 100 acres of land in Douglas County north of Woodland Park, near Sedalia, was 45% contained Sunday, according to U.S. Forest Service officials.

Since the start of 2025, Douglas County has been in and out of a burn ban. Bans are in place mainly to reduce the chance of a wildfire when conditions outside are not favorable. Tuesday, Lauritzen Gardens have conducted prescribed burns to rejuvenate areas of their gardens through a fire permit.
