VIDEO: The U.S. Forest Service says it's running into a reoccurring problem when responding to fires in southern Colorado. Fire officials tell News 5 even after closing down roads near a fire, some people continue driving on them. The Turkey Track 7 fire is a perfect example. Forest Service officials say they've noticed people driving on Turkey Track near the shooting range, even though the road is temporarily shut down. And they're not just concerned for the drivers' safety.
