JEFFERSON COUNTY , Colo. — Nearly 300 animals were able to return home after all mandatory evacuation orders were lifted for the Quarry Fire on Tuesday.For the past week, volunteers have been working around the clock to care for animals evacuated to the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. Jefferson County Horse Council, a nonprofit that has helped in dozens of disasters for more than two decades, was one of the organizations that stepped up to help amid the fire.
'We have volunteers here 24/7. There are people that actually sleep on the ground to make sure that the animals are being cared for through the night. So we think that most people will be coming today into this evening, possibly tomorrow. But you know, by the end of the week, we're hoping to have all the animals back in their original homes,' she said.Denver7 was there as Megan Martzke and Ron Montross picked up their animals after they were evacuated last week.
