Smoke visible from fire at Evraz Steel mill in Pueblo

(PUEBLO, Colo.) — The Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) is asking the community not to call 911 unless you see flames, after a second fire broke out in Pueblo at the Evraz Steel Mill.

Earlier on Friday, the Vision Hills Fire broke out near Overton Road, forcing evacuations due to high winds and fire danger.
