On Tuesday evening, as the Today staff was working on building the April 14 edition, the alerts started to come through our cell phones: The prairie was ablaze near our headquarters at CSU Pueblo’s Buell Communications Center. Student journalists Brenden Vigil, Kimmy Reinhardt, Noelle Redmond, Mike Milisavlejich, Austin Belore, Danielle Whitaker, Ryan Jones and Brianna Sammons packed their bags, grabbed their cameras and headed to the scene to record the events and, in one volunteer firefighter’s case, to help control the chaos. We are pleased to present this compilation of their images, chronicling the blaze from alert to containment.
