DEER CREEK, Colo. — Evacuees of the Quarry Fire are still settling back into their homes after they were evacuated earlier this month. One family reached out to Denver7 after they noticed an uptick in wildlife visitors, including one that almost cost them a family pet.The Wohnoutkas' family rabbit is aptly named Foo Foo and true to its namesake, it had quite an adventure recently in the forest.
'That habitat, while it can be wiped out for that time, could actually bring some benefits for , because it could grow new types of things to forage, or new sorts of places for them to hide or find shelter,' Van Hoose said. The Quarry Fire stayed relatively small and didn't burn long-term, so CPW is not anticipating wildlife to experience deep negative impacts. CPW also said they noticed many well-intentioned people left food or water out of wildlife during the Quarry Fire.
