A fire that started in a sport-utility vehicle on Interstate 70 near the Utah state line early Tuesday morning grew into a small brush fire before firefighters were able to extinguish it. Sheriff's deputies, the Colorado State Patrol and the Lower Valley Fire Protection District were called out to a motor vehicle fire on westbound I-70 near mile marker 4 about 12:40 a.m. When they arrived, they discovered the fire had expanded from the vehicle into a brush fire about 100 yards long.
