Helicopter Drops Water as Wildfire Near Breckenridge Sparks Evacuations

Evacuations were ordered in Colorado’s Summit County on July 5 after a wildfire was reported between the mountain towns of Frisco and Breckenridge.

A full evacuation of the area around Peak 7 mountain was ordered, while fire officials advised people in Breckenridge to prepare to leave should the so-called Peak 2 Fire become more dangerous. Fire crews and equipment were deployed, including two heavy tankers, a water-bombing helicopter, and personnel from three local fire districts, according to the Summit County government.
