The Drumheller Fire Department and the Carbon Fire Department worked until after midnight to extinguish a fire in Horseshoe Canyon on Friday night. The call came in around dusk of the fire in the canyon floor. Because of the location, firefighters could only use equipment they could carry in to fight the blaze. They used fire brooms and their backpacks filled with water to battle the flames. As the fire spread to larger stands of wood in the canyon, they used chainsaws to stop the progress of the fire. The cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
