Units from the Kiowa County Fire Protection District responded to a vehicle fire on Highway 96 near the Chivington Friends Church in eastern Kiowa County late Monday afternoon.

When firefighters arrived, a Ford F-250 pickup was nearly completely destroyed, and flames had spread to grassland, burning to the northeast. Much of southeast Colorado was under a red flag warning for high fire danger Monday due to high temperatures and strong winds.

When people talk about waste, images of discarded highway trash and bags floating in the wind often come to mind. But in reality, litter only makes up a fraction of the total trash produced by each country. The real culprit is usually the construction industry, where excavations, roadwork, and demolitions create tons of fodder for landfills. It should come as no surprise, then, that the countries that produce the most waste per capita typically have robust construction industries.
