Tampa Bay Buccaneers edge-rusher Shaquil Barrett was forced to evacuate his home south of Denver due to a 461-acre wildfire that occurred southeast of Chatfield State Park on Monday, per Elise Schmelzer and Kieran Nicholson or the Denver Post.
Per sports anchor Michael Spencer of Denver's CBS affiliate, Barrett noted how much the home meant to him and his family:
No injuries were reported, and no structures were damaged, per South Metro Fire Rescue spokesman Eric Hurst. An "electrical malfunction on a power pole" caused the blaze.
The BackCountry subdivision and Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Foundation were under mandatory orders to evacuate, but those were lifted at 7:30 p.
