Here are the top stories today in Lakewood:

  1. Wildfire near Mount Lindo quickly extinguished. Firefighters were able to put out a wildfire that was sparked on Tuesday afternoon near Highway 285 and Highway 8 in Morrison. Nearby residents in Willow Springs were evacuated as a precaution. (FOX31)
  2. Hot weather exacerbates struggle with air conditioning problems in Lakewood apartment building. Residents at the affordable housing project, known as Ridgemoor Apartments, have not had AC since last Thursday, impacting nearly 250 units. (CBS4)
  3. Meow Wolf co-founder dead at 37. Considered a pioneer in immersive art, Matt King helped catapult the Santa Fe-based arts collective into an offbeat, interactive entertainment empire – with locations in Denver, Santa Fe and Las Vegas. (CBS)
  4. Poll finds that citizens in Colorado have air quality on their mind. A large majority of Coloradoans want bolder action from the State of Colorado to reduce air pollution, and chances are highly likely they are willing to support a clean-truck rule. (CO Newsline)
  5. State's school support staff seeking better pay, may try to unionize. School support staff across the state are ramping up efforts for better working conditions and better pay. Here in Jefferson County, Coloradans for the Common Good helped Jeffco School District workers secure a $3 per hour raise over the next two years for support staff members. (CO Sun)
