On September 5, 2024, a vehicle fire occurred at Clear Spring Ranch in Colorado Springs, prompting a swift response from the fire department. Investigators determined that the fire was caused by welding equipment, producing a loud explosion-like sound. One outside contracted employee of Colorado Springs Utilities was seriously injured and airlifted to a Denver hospital. The estimated financial losses from the incident range from $500,000 to $1 million. Fortunately, neither the Ray Nixon nor Front Range power plants were impacted, and no other workers were injured at the site.

On September 5, 2024, the Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) responded to a vehicle fire at Clear Spring Ranch near the Ray Nixon and Front Range Power Plants. Investigators determined the fire was accidental, caused by welding equipment, which likely produced a loud explosion-like sound. Multiple agencies, including Fountain Fire and Security Fire, quickly arrived to handle the incident.
The incident involved an outside contracted employee of Colorado Springs Utilities, who was seriously injured and airlifted to a Denver hospital. The utility company stated that they contract this company to maintain heavy equipment and large trucks that move materials such as ash and coal at the site.
While the incident generated significant noise, neither the Ray Nixon nor Front Range power plants were affected, and no other workers were injured, nor was any infrastructure damaged.
The estimated financial losses from this incident are around $500,000 to $1 million, primarily due to equipment damage and medical expenses. To prevent similar occurrences in the future, relevant departments are considering enhanced safety regulations and training for welding operations to ensure all staff adhere to safety protocols.
